GREENVILLE – Community Blood Center will celebrate its 10th annual “T-Shirt Day at the Great Darke County Fair” with extra flair from 1 to 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The pot of gold at the end of the T-shirt rainbow will be a free family day at Kings Island.

The CBC tent returns to its familiar location near Gate 2. Donors are invited to stop by and register to win a variety of door prizes, including the grand prize of a “Family Fun Pack” of four tickets to Kings Island.

The tickets are good for regular operating hours through the remainder of the 2018 season. Entrants must be age 16 and older and must be a CBC blood donor to win.

CBC Darke County Account Representative Dana Puterbaugh has set the goal this year of 300 donors wearing CBC colors visiting the CBC tent for fun and photos on T-shirt Day.

“Help us reach our goal of 300 donors wearing CBC t-shirts or apparel on Wednesday at the Fair,” Puterbaugh said.
