For those traveling to Columbus, here are some events (mostly in Worthington) over the extended July 4th weekend. Other neighboring communities also have activities, but why go anywhere else when Worthington has the best celebrations?! (Apologies to local classmates living outside of Wo-ton but this weekend is homegrown!!)
Wednesday, July 3
Red, White, and Boom
Head to downtown Columbus for Ohio's largest fireworks display! They begin at 10pm, but there are plenty of activities lined up throughout the day:

Columbus Clippers baseball game
The game begins at 7:15pm but there are activities scheduled before and after (including more fireworks!) at Huntington Park. This stadium was built ten years ago, and has since been named Ballpark of the Year. Worth a visit!

25th Class Reunion
Come join classmates from 7pm-11pm at Amanos for food, live music, and fun!
In addition to the above events, there are a lot of other things to see and do around Columbus. And if the weather is nice during your visit, you may enjoy sometime at the Worthington Pool! There have been a lot of renovations to it, but there is still plenty of space on the "hill"...
