Sponsorship
The Annie Oakley Festival Committee members are very proud and excited about the upcoming 2023 Annie Oakley Festival, which will be our ​59​th ​year of being a festival that honors Darke County’s most famous daughter, Annie Oakley. Plans are already in progress for the 2023 festival, and we are continuing to bring to Darke County, a ​Free​ festival. Each year, our entire festival is only made possible through the sponsorships, grants, and donations that we receive from organizations, businesses, and individuals. ​Therefore, we are asking you to consider partnering with us for this wonderful, family oriented, time honored festival. Please review the attached information for the many ways that you can help us continue to bring to Darke County and all over Ohio, a wonderful event.
Listed below are the events that we have confirmed will be taking place for the 2023 festival, and we are so grateful to all of those involved in each of these events, and the excitement that they will be bringing to our festival.
