Music and Arts in the air in Westerville….again!

July 15th, 2007 categories: Entertainment, Local Communities, Music, The Arts, Westerville

For the 34^th time the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce pulled it off. A wonderful weekend of Art, Music and Food. Here’s to the beautiful weather and the winds which helped make the temperatures pleasant.

I must admit I was sad when the event moved from Otterbein College. I enjoyed the quaintness of the campus and the abundance of shade. I will admit, however I am a convert.

This was the seventh year at Heritage Park. Clearly this venue was meant to host this event. The winding paths offer the perfect setup for the numerous vendors. The Everal Barn offers a prime setting for a fantastic line up of entertainment, and the location provides for easier access and more parking. I do miss the shade, however.

The setting is great for families and if you are an area resident you are sure to stop often to catch up with friends and neighbors enjoying the event.

If you missed it this year, be sure to keep it on your radar for next year.

A few favorites not to be missed include:

Roasted Almonds
Lemon Shake Ups with Lots of Sugar
A stroll through the vendor booths
Lunch and some live music

Whether you go to buy, look, or just take in the experience, it really is a great place to be!

The Summer of Love is alive and well at ComFest

June 22nd, 2007 categories: Columbus, Entertainment, Local Communities, Music, Short North, The Arts

Columbus, Ohio is a town of many colors. The color this weekend in Goodale park will likely be tie-dye.

For 35 years The Community Fest, better known as ComFest, has showcased music, arts, actvisim and community cohesiveness in a free-wheeling, fun filled weekend of revelry and togetherness.

ComFest or Bust!!

ComFest is guided each year by the following principles:

1. We think that people ought to work for the collective good of all people rather than for personal gain. We support cooperation and collective activity rather than competition and individual profit.

2. The basic necessities of life are a right and not a privilege. People have the collective right to control the conditions of their lives.

3. People should strive to conduct their lives in harmony with the environment.

4. We recognize that there are primary attitudes which divide and oppress people. These attitudes are usually shown by prejudice against people on the basis of age, class, ability, income, race, sex, and sexual preference/ orientation.

5. We seek to eliminate these attitudes.

These principals illustrate the fact that ComFest truly has a purpose and is about much more than beer tents and rock and roll.

How you approach ComFest is up to you. For the diehard, be sure to get there early and stay late. You don�t want to miss anything. For the curious, perhaps a couple hours will give you your fill. Either way, if you are looking for something to do June 22�24, 2007 ComFest is a unique and colorful opportunity.
