FOOTBALL GAME WATCH PARTIES AT FLAPPERS IN MOUNT VERNON.

BUCKEYE NATION continues to join our Alumni Club at Flappers for GAME WATCH PARTIES.
Cheer on the Buckeyes with the Knox County Alumni Club for the remaining games. Besides cheering at the large screen TVs, there is a 50/50 raffle, great food (with a deal for the day), and a raffle for other prizes.
The September 17 party, topped off our participation in the OSU Founder's Day celebration. After collecting food and cash at Kroger in the morning, we ended the food drive at Flappers having added over 100 pounds of food and $147.10 to the pantry at the Salvation Army. That is true BUCKEYE SPIRIT!
