Buckeye Bash

Members of the Ohio State University Alumni Club of Paulding and Van Wert Counties met Friday night for its annual Fall Bash. This year the event was held at Wassenberg Art Center in Van Wert. In addition to a dinner and charity auction to raise funds for OSU scholarships, the group was to have heard from former Buckeyes quarterback Cornelius Greene, but Greene’s plane was grounded because of inclement weather and he couldn’t make it to the dinner. Here, local dentist and avid Buckeyes fan Dr. Carl Jeffery makes some announcements during the event with Brutus Buckeye in the background. (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
