MARION POPCORN FESTIVAL
THEME T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE 

MARION, OH— As the Marion Popcorn Festival approaches, Festival officials are encouraging businesses, organizations, government offices, and even families to join in the fun by wearing official Marion Popcorn Festival apparel. This year’s theme, The Big Pop Goes South of the Border, is featured on tee shirts designed by local resident Joann Hatcher.  Kathy Reber, Theme Committee Chair, stated “Many businesses allow their employees a more relaxed dress code during the Festival.  Wearing matching Marion Popcorn Festival shirts is a great way to both support the Festival and yet still maintain a business look and feel.” T-shirt prices range from $10.00 to $15.00.  For additional information and pre-sale of tee shirts please call Kathy at 740-751-6272.
