The wonderful wacky warm weather means that the holidays still feel far away. Special alert: they are not. As always, we will help you fill your calendar of fun with great downtown happenings (don’t miss your chance to win A Christmas Carol tickets in this edition). Be sure to mark your calendar for this year’s Holiday Trolley Hop, a Discovery District favorite, December 12, 1 - 5 p.m.



If you’ve never hopped the holiday trolley, you are missing some good holiday fun. Bring the family for a complimentary trolley ride through the Discovery District, with fun stops for activities, crafts, tours and even some shopping to help you stuff stockings. Stops include Topiary Park, Kelton House, Bosco Center, Columbus Museum of Art, Hills Market Downtown, Thurber House, State Auto Nativity Display and more...Oh, and if you are a fan of The Huntington Train, you can run over to Huntington Bank at 17 S. High St. from 1 - 4 p.m. (the train is usually on display at the Columbus Main Library, which is under renovation this year).
