Columbus Day is in the Corner

Columbus Day is in the corner. It reminds us of the arrival of Columbus in America. Many countries in the new world and elsewhere celebrate the Columbus Day, which is a United States holiday commemorating the landing of Christopher Columbus in the new world on 12, 1492. It was unofficially celebrated in a number of cities and states since the 18th century, but didn’t become a federal holiday until the 1930s. 
Ohio’s capital and largest city celebrates harvest season with a bounty of traditional fall festivals, farmers markets, and corn mazes. Pick your own pumpkins at Lynd’s Fruit Farm in Pataskala in the first weekend in October, jump in the barrel to stomp whole grapes at Via Vecchi Winery’s annual grape crush. Enjoy east-central Ohio’s spectacular fall colors by walking, biking, hiking or camping at one of the 17 Columbus-area Metro Parks.
