Get High, Get Scared, Get Fed

And listen to a little singing

Arbor Day Festival

That little dot you see towards the bottom right in this photo is a young girl learning how Westerville city arborists do their jobs. At least one of their jobs. Or, maybe she’s just having a good time.

The Autumn Arborfest is Saturday at Alum Creek North Park beginning at 10 a.m. and lasting until 2 p.m. Kids can climb trees, study trees, touch animals that live in trees, touch trees, and buy native tree saplings and plants from nearby local nurseries.

Best part! It’s free.

Get Your Scared On

You begin in a cemetery and end in jewels. That’s quite a spooky adventure on a cold dark fall night.

There are a dozen stops on this ghost tour through Uptown and each one has a different tale to tell about the unknown, unforeseen, and perhaps unforgiven spirits that linger in Uptown.

This collection of spirited stories is slightly theatrical, largely historical, and entertaining with performers from Good Medicine Productions.

Book your trip through ghostly Uptown through Halloween. (Friday night is sold out.)

The Saturday Market’s End Is Near
