Ohio Festivals Starting Up in March 2017

Image: Crowd at Ohio Festival

Spring is starting up and in Ohio, so are the festivals.  I’ve been in Columbus for a few weeks now, and I must say it’s been a very nice experience catching up with my son, his wife and grands.  Yep, I’m a ‘pop-pop’… og style.  😉

So, with the warmer days showing up every now and then, I was wondering what things went on in the state during the spring.  As it turns out, Ohio has several ‘Avant-Garde’, trade and craft shows happening starting in March.

The link to the page that contains dates, locations, telephone numbers for a few of the festivals we found is: <Here>  Upcoming Ohio Festivals .

South Carolina Owes North Carolina Land

I saw this article in Pastemagazine.com titled, So Part of South Carolina’s About to Turn into North Carolina.   It was an interesting, and somewhat amusing article when I first read it.  I actually thought the article was a joke– until I read the background info.  Then I thought… are you kidding? [ Apparently not].  So now, according to the article, sum 660 square miles of land belong to North Carolina.

It’s amazing how something someone does or does not do affects an outcome so many years later.  I find it even more amazing that they had records of what went down in 1735.  1735 being the year.  It’s a short and interesting article. You should give it a read.  So Part of South Carolina’s About to Turn into North Carolina.

Washington DC to Raise Minimum Wage to $15 Hour

15DollarWageDC2016-06-08_1502

Hmm… I guess this got missed because I didn’t see a lot about it. Washington DC is the next city to raise its minimum wage for workers to $15 an hour. I think Senator Sanders is on to something that the rest of the Democrats are slow to grasp… but then again He is an Independent… 😉 #GoBernie
