2015 in Review

Ohio_Festivals_Icon

This year, I’ve been to and reviewed 36 festivals.  There probably would have been more if I didn’t take a summer vacation in June, but I’m honestly not regretting it at all (it was a GREAT summer trip).

The festivals varied in theme and type…

Columbus Winter Beerfest

…including beer fests (Columbus Winter Beerfest Review)…

Annie_Oakley

…Annie Oakley fests (Annie Oakley Festival Review)…

Taste of St. Casimir’s Cleveland

…ethnic church fests (Taste of St. Casimir’s Review)…

Bull Thistle Arts Festival

…and even Bull Thistle fests (Bull Thistle Arts Festival Review).

There were a few setbacks in my travels…

pony wagon days st. paris

…such as a festival that was more-or-less canceled (Pony Wagon Days Review)…

constitution festival louisville

…a festival that didn’t quite start on time (Constitution Festival Review)…

Springfield Rotary Gourmet Food Truck Competition

…and an event that turned out to not be a festival in the end (Springfield Rotary Gourmet Food Truck Competition).

I never ended up reviewing this last one.

At the end of the year, some of my favorites were those I’ve already visited in the past…

Dandelion Festival - Dover

…such as the Dandelion Festival (Review)…

Feast of the Assumption - Cleveland
