The Buckeye Book Fair All Access T-Shirt Pass SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

Dear Ohio Business Owner,

This fall, October 27th – November 1st, readers from across the state will be driving into Wayne County for one reason: the 2025 Buckeye Book Fair.

For over 38 years, the Buckeye Book Fair has brought together 100+ Ohio authors and illustrators in one place—making it a must-attend event for book lovers, educators, families, and collectors alike. This isn’t just a local tradition—it’s a destination.

Now, we’re giving your business the chance to be part of the excitement through our new All Access T-Shirt Pass sponsorship.

Here’s how it works:

We’ll be selling a 2025 Buckeye Book Fair T-shirt to our thousands of attendees, and that shirt will give wearers access to exclusive deals and perks from participating local businesses. We’ll ask you to offer something small but special—a freebie, discount, or unique add-on—to anyone wearing the shirt during the promotion.

In return, your business will be:

• Promoted in our digital and printed event materials
• Highlighted on our website, emails, and social media
• Part of a “Perks for Passholders” directory that we’ll share with thousands of loyal, book-loving patrons

Why it works:

Buckeye Book Fair weekend draws thousands of visitors to Wayne County who are ready to shop local, support community, and celebrate storytelling. These visitors often make a day—or a weekend—of it. They’re looking for places to eat, shop, and explore before and after the Fair.

By participating, you’re not only connecting with new customers—you’re helping us:

• Distribute free books to children in need
• Bring authors into Ohio schools
• Host meaningful literacy programs for readers of all ages

This sponsorship is simple, affordable, and effective. You give a little perk to T-shirt wearers—we give you big exposure in a statewide campaign supporting books, authors, and community.

Let’s make your business part of the story.

Complete the form today to reserve your spot on the 2025 Buckeye Book Fair T-shirt and help welcome readers to Wayne County with a reason to stop by your door.

With appreciation,
Kimberly Jarvis
Executive Director, Buckeye Book Fair
