The program will also honor Memorial Day with Vaughan Williams’s powerful cantata, Dona Nobis Pacem. For more info, or to purchase tickets, visit columbussymphony.com. 🎵

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

I can't believe that the weekend is here already. I know I ask this about once a month, but seriously, is it just me, or is time flying lately? Luckily, I know a few good tricks for slowing things down and relaxing. There's nothing that helps me feel more relaxed than enjoying an incredible meal with a great view. And to me, there's no better view than a waterfront one! Luckily, Ohio has some beautiful waterfront restaurants and now that it's almost summer, we've got the weather to go with them. Have a great weekend, friends.

🎡 Could the Ohio State Fair leave Columbus?

It's an unpopular idea with agricultural leaders, but a budget amendment introduced last month in the Ohio House Finance Committee would require the Department of Development

"to conduct a study to determine if the fairgrounds should be moved to an alternative location."
