Every year, there are an abundance of events all over the Columbus, OH area that allow you to enjoy the true meaning of this holiday: spending time with family, friends and loved ones. Here are a few of the fun-filled, family friendly occasions occurring around the community this year:

Hunger Banquet 2012
Bexley Public Library
Thursday, November 15th, 6:30pm
It’s amazing how people are in such a giving, charitable state of mind during the holiday season. Perhaps it’s the traditions and symbolism surrounding Thanksgiving, but it certainly seems that people realize what they take for granted during this time of year. That’s why if you could, then you should participate in Bexley Public Library’s Hunger Banquet this year. The Oxfam Hunger Banquet is designed to shed a new light on hunger and poverty worldwide. It’s truly an eye-opening experience. The activity is designed to show how luck is a large factor in whether or not you are able to enjoy a holiday meal in this country. For an educational and inspiring presentation, this is one community event you won’t want to miss this holiday season.

2012 Columbus Turkey Trot
Lane Avenue Shopping Center
Thursday, November 22nd, 9:00am
A Columbus area tradition for over 20 years, the Turkey Trot is a beautiful, scenic run that starts and ends at Lane Avenue Shopping Center and takes you around the beautiful campus of The Ohio State University. The 5 mile or 2 mile run or walk is the perfect excuse to burn some of those extra calories before filling up on turkey and stuffing. You’re running to support the Easter Seals and the fight against autism, so your participation is for a great cause! The first 1,000 men and 1,000 women to finish the run will also get a Kroger Pumpkin Pie for their Thanksgiving dessert.

Wildlights at Columbus Zoo
Columbus Zoo
November 16th, 2012-January 3rd, 2013
One of the brightest holiday attractions in the Columbus Metropolitan area is the Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo. This will certainly brighten your holiday season! Enjoy over three million twinkling lights set up in breathtaking displays. There are also a number of exciting activities for the kids. This is definitely a holiday activity that your family will thoroughly enjoy this holiday season.

Did you know that National Health Center Week is in August? Participating in this 5K race, which is organized by the Lower Lights Christian Health Center, will allow you to help raise money for uninsured patients who use public health centers for their medical needs. Any and all funds raised will offset the cost of uninsured medical care that these community centers provide. The event includes a 5K race, a 1 mile walk, a kids race and family fun. Registration is $25. Show your support for a great cause and help your health at this event!

Movies on the Mile
August 17th, 2012
7:00pm
233 Civic Center Drive, Columbus, OH
Movie nights are never boring, but sometimes it’s more fun to forego the latest blockbuster and settle down with a classic. On August 17th, enjoy a screening of Charlotte’s Web with the entire family. Arrive early to get concessions and participate in a few activities that relate to the film’s theme. At dusk, sit back and enjoy the show. Admission is free!

The Central Ohio Balloon club will wow you with some amazing hot air balloons at this annual festival. Take this opportunity to go on your first tethered balloon ride or flight. Free admission makes this event even more affordable for the entire family. Reservations are required for your balloon adventure, so don’t waste any time booking your flight.

Art for the Environment
August 25th, 2012
6:00pm-9:00pm
The Lab, 855 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH
This silent art auction will benefit the Ohio Environmental Council. Join a multitude of local artists and show your support for clean air and water and sustainable land use. Each piece of work will express a connection to the environment. Artists Ann Hamilton and Michael Mercil will be featured. Add to your art collection and come together with the community to benefit the environmental well-being of our area.

Whether you want to run a race, buy a new painting or enjoy a classic film, there is something happening in Columbus this month that will undoubtedly pique your interest. I think that going to community events like these can only help those who have recently relocated to the area get acclimated faster.
