I'm going to be visiting some family and we're looking for dog or horse related things to do. We're already going to the zoo and a sort of nature preserve but I can't find anything else in the way of dog shows, etc.
Suggestions?

that weekend is the (in)famous COMFEST, (comfest.org) a large open air community festival in goodale park. sun, rain, music, food, crafts, political discourse of ALL types. it's also columbus pride weekend (stonewallcolumbus.org).
while both of these events are not specifically dog related, lots of dogs will be at both events. i'm pretty sure columbus mounted police will also be at both events(sorta horse related) and on sunday afternoon you can meet me and some of my fur crew. i will check for others as well.
Thanks, sounds like a lot of fun. I'll see what they think of it.
If you do make it to Goodale Park, look for the white squirrels, they're gorgeous! I've seen them in the park there before.
Why not go to the Metroparks? Highbanks is a good one!
The Ohio State fair is a lot of fun. However I think it's later in Aug. Eastland outdoor mall is lovely with a ton of specialty shops to visit. How about the Columbus Zoo? The state house, Lincoln gave a speech there and his body was held there as well. Ohio State Campus is lovely as well.
http://www.ohiostatefair.com/ very true but you are correct she will be here a month before it begins :(!!Quote:
