We would like to invite you to attend the Annie Oakley Days Festival 2012 to be held at the Darke County Fairgrounds July 27, 28, 29, 2012.

Additional information and updates will be posted in the upcoming months. We are very excited about new events and developments along with many of the long standing traditions of Annie Oakley Days.

In advertisements for the Wild West Show, Annie was called “Little Sure Shot”—the nickname Chief Sitting Bull, her costar, had given her. She would hit the edge of a playing card from 90 feet, and shoot it five or six more times before it hit the ground.

The Annie Oakley Festival began more than four decades ago with sidewalk sales in lovely downtown Greenville. Since the events inception 47 years ago, visitors and locals alike have enjoyed shooting contests, a car show, fast draw competitions, melodramas, historical tours, a pilgrimage to Annie’s grave, special displays at Garst Museum, a Saturday parade, antique market and concessions.

The core mission of The Annie Oakley Festival is honoring Darke Counties most famous Daughter.

We look forward to bringing you the 2012 Annie Oakley Days Festival.
