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

I’ve done a little research and found that there is plenty to keep you entertained this season in the Columbus, OH area! Here are a few of the main highlights:

Enjoy a Marvelous Menagerie. The Columbus Museum of Art is the perfect place for history buffs to go during a hot day, and this season is no exception. Enjoy The Radical Camera, a photography exhibit that showcases New York City from the 1930s to the 1940s. The poverty, racial inequality and social injustice of the city’s streets during these decades are brilliantly captured on film, creating an exhibit that will stir your emotions. Archaeology aficionados will also enjoy the Marvelous Menagerie, an ancient Roman mosaic masterpiece from Lod, Israel. Believed to have belonged to a wealthy Roman, this artistic achievement depicts many animals and beasts and has been wonderfully conserved for your viewing pleasure. This is just a few of many of the museum’s current exhibitions. Pay the place a visit and see the rest for yourself!

Take a beer tour. While not the most family-friendly of activities, from time to time it’s fun to try out some local breweries! There are many local beer joints that have opened up in the area, including Buckeye Lake Brewery, which opened in February of this year and Zauber Brewing Co., which opened in March of this year. These are just two of about eight new breweries in the area that have opened this year alone. This summer is the perfect time to try them out and see what the local beer scene really has to offer.

Attend a literary picnic at Thurber House. In honor of Columbus’s bicentennial this year, local attraction Thurber House is paying homage to our local authors by hosting a literary picnic series. Taking place on the lawn of James Thurber’s home, attendees can bring their own food, picnic blankets and beverages while listening to readings from authors with a connection to the lovely state of Ohio. The first one is tonight at 5:30pm, and the honored author is Thurber himself. There will be periodic picnics through August 8th, so you can pick and choose which readings to attend. Here’s the complete schedule of literary picnics for the season.

One of the biggest benefits of living in Columbus, OH, is that there is always something to do, and this summer, there are plenty of unique activities happening to keep you busy. As an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker, I like to help relocating families get adjusted to their new community, and I think that getting out there and attending some local events is a great way to learn more about your new home.

If you have any questions about what’s happening in Columbus, or have questions about buying a home in Columbus or one of its surrounding communities, don’t hesitate to contact me and ask. I’d be happy to help you. I hope to hear from you soon!
