How Win on the Wabash Became a Regional Fundraising Powerhouse
Aug 18, 202633 minS1
What started with 3,000 raffle tickets and an ambitious idea in Fort Recovery has grown into one of the region’s biggest fundraising events. On this episode of Diving In , Lee Keaser talks with Ryan Steinbrunner of the Win on the Wabash committee about the remarkable growth of the WOW Super Raffle, the work happening behind the scenes, and the hundreds of volunteers who make the event possible. They dive into the massive Super Raffle, the explosive growth of the pre-event 50/50, the infamous system crash caused by last year’s ticket rush, and how an event rooted in Fort Recovery now attracts visitors from well beyond western Ohio. More importantly, Steinbrunner explains where the impact goes after the weekend is over — from helping pay off Fort Recovery’s baseball facility to scholarships, community organizations and a $100,000 contribution toward the Sawyer Overman Ninja Park. The conversation also looks at why volunteerism remains such a major part of life throughout Mercer County and the surrounding region. The 8th annual Win on the Wabash takes place August 28–29 at Ambassador Park in Fort Recovery, with entertainment including Lätter, Back in Black, Saw Crush and Joe Nichols.

The 66th Coldwater Community Picnic takes place Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2, 2026. EPISODE SUMMARY: President Jason Schlarman and Vice President Wes Mohler join Diving In to discuss the history, preparation and community spirit behind the 66th Coldwater Community Picnic. The conversation covers the Thursday night reverse raffle, Friday night fireworks, Saturday’s family activities and live entertainment, and Sunday’s parade, chicken dinners and veterans program. Jason and Wes also discuss new carnival games, activities for teenagers, the return of the bourbon tasting and the decision to move the Big Wheel races and kiddie tractor pull closer to the midway. Listeners will also hear how hundreds of volunteers, stand operators, trustees and committee members work together throughout picnic weekend. Any profits raised by the picnic are donated to the Coldwater Public Library and Coldwater Memorial Park, allowing the event to continue supporting the community long after the weekend ends. The episode concludes with quick picnic hot takes and a meaningful discussion about the friendship, teamwork and “hectic brotherhood” created by serving on the picnic committee.
