Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

If you’re looking for some fun outdoor plans over the next couple of weeks, I’ve got the perfect suggestion. Metro Parks is hosting a bunch of different themed hikes at various parks and they’re so cute. There’s a sunrise hike for the early birds out there, a costumed hike, and even a cemetery hike! Genuinely, they all sound like a blast and it’s events and programming like this that make me feel lucky to have such a great Metro Parks system. And no, this isn’t sponsored by the Metro Parks, I just really love them and think that they provide a vital service for Central Ohio residents. 😂

🧑‍⚖️ Former Manager Sues Closed Columbus Bar, Alleging Illegal Practices
