This post documents my experience on August 3, 2013.
Right off of I-70 in Columbus…
…a Brats and Crafts Festival was cooking up at St. James Lutheran.
I parked the car and headed to the festival…
…stopping briefly to watch the Ohio Village Muffins warm up…
…and then found myself faced with a serious decision.
I decided to first check out the crafts in front…


…with plenty of lawn and home decor…
…only to learn that there was more inside…
…along hallways…
…around corners…
…and in a room at the end.
The other direction…
…offered another vendor with carved wooden bottle stoppers…
…an area for children’s games…
…a submarine…
…and a large tent…
…with Polka music…
…beer…
…plenty of brats…
…and a nice selection of cake to finish the meal.
