Honestly, I’m confused. The dates given for the Labor day festivities are off. I would love to participate in some of the fun activities in Columbus this weekend with my children.
Are you able to clarify this for me?
Hi Angela! I’m so sorry I missed your comment. This blog post is from last year. The latest Labor Day events were listed on our sidebar and if you hit the homepage it was the first blog post you saw.
I’m the new guide for Columbus and I’m still trying to find all of the previous guide’s info to redirect to updated info. I hope you and the kids got a chance to do something fun.
