Ohio State Alumni Club of Tuscarawas County will host its third annual drive-up fishing expedition on Saturday, Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia to raise scholarship funds for Tuscarawas County students attending the Ohio State University.

Cars will enter from Tuscora Avenue and move along Al Maloney Midway. Participants will purchase their catch of the day. Each fish selection is $20. Each fish will have a minimum value of $20. Volunteers will bring winnings to vehicles.

The catches of the day include OSU decorations, pillow cases, shirts, blankets, puzzles, neck scarves, artwork, pillows, towels, tote bags and more.

Also available are OSU photos, footballs, framed photos and mini helmets autographed by former Buckeyes including Joey Galloway, Raekwon McMillan, Orlando Pace, Jim Tressel, Terrence Dials, Tyvis Powell, Joshua Perry, Rex Kern, Parris Campbell and others. Each catch also includes a $5 gift certificate for Roosters Wings.

If paying by check, make the check payable to OSU Foundation. If paying by cash, have the cash in an envelope with name, phone number and email address.

“We are excited to be able to again offer this unique scholarship fundraiser,” said Martha Campbell, club president. “This a great opportunity for Buckeye fans to get some autographed memorabilia, decorations and game gear without leaving the comfort of their vehicle.”

The Ohio State Alumni Club of Tuscarawas County awarded scholarships totaling $33,500 to Tuscarawas County students attending the Ohio State University for the 2022-23 school year.
