DJBC Tumblr Fall 22 Finale - Victory Along The Olentangy: 45-23, Who's Your Daddy?

It was this time last week where the biggest rivalry in all sports took center stage in Columbus, as # 2 Ohio State hosted # 3 Michigan. And it was a close game for about three-plus quarters, and then the big plays came out late in the fourth quarter, as Michigan won big 45-23, their biggest win in the rivalry since 1993, and their biggest win in Columbus since 1976. The game was seen by 17 million viewers on television, the highest-rated game this season. Michigan plays for their second straight Big Ten Championship tonight against Purdue in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium.

After Utah's wrecking of USC in the Pac-12 Championship in Vegas last night, there are talks of a rematch in Glendale or Atlanta on New Year's Eve. Let's hope not.

Here are highlights from last Saturday's tailgating and pre-game activities.

DJBC Tumblr Fall & Summer 2022 - 934 Fest

Also on the weekend after Labor Day was the annual 934 Fest, held at 934 Gallery (934 Cleveland Avenue) in Milo-Grogan. A lot of people do not know where this area is on the map, but pass through it along I-71 (which literally cut the neighborhood in half in the early 1960s). But Milo-Grogan is north of the Discovery District, east of Italian Village, northwest of Bronzeville, and south of Linden and the Ohio State Fairgrounds, for those who did not know the answer.

934 Fest gets its name from 934 Gallery, which is at 934 Cleveland Avenue. Inside the Gallery, there were a couple of pop-up vendors, and the current exhibition up in the Gallery (plus restrooms, for those who didn't want to use the Port-a-Potties). Outside the Gallery, there were murals (also along the adjacent buildings, as well), live music (or in the case of our Sunday afternoon stroll, live DJ's).

And yes, that Bloody Mary looked classy enough to qualify as a meal, given the statuesque garnish to add some flare to this tiny little festival.

DJBC Tumblr Fall 22 - Highball Halloween

Highball Halloween returned to in-person and the Short North for the first time since 2019, after being held at KEMBA Live in 2021 (due to COVID Restrictions).

The festival was relocated to the corner of Goodale and Park Streets, rather than returning to High Street.

New this year was a family-friendly component, with family and pet costume contests. That was emceed by NBC4 anchor Matt Herchik, and now-former NBC4 traffic reporter Andrea Henderson.

The regular evening event, with the Costume Contest, the Fashion Couture Contest, and live music, was emceed by NBC4 Today anchors Matt Barnes and Monica Day, with Virginia West as their co-emcee.

Here were some of the highlights of Highball.

DJBC Tumblr Fall 22 - Worthington Market Day

Every Fall, the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce shuts down High Street in Old Worthington for an outdoor market. It is usually held around the first B*ckeye football road game (because it wouldn't make sense to do it when the B*ckeyes are a few miles down the road at the Shoe, now would it?) after Labor Day, which in 2022, didn't happen until October 8.

Here were some of the highlights from this year's Worthington Market Day.

DJBC Tumblr Fall 22 - MilVets Veteran's Day Parade 2022

The MilVets (Ohio) Veteran's Day Parade took place yesterday in Downtown Columbus. And there could not have been more perfect weather for it. There were floats, businesses, city and county offices, high school marching bands, and of course, Santa Claus himself in the Parade through Downtown Columbus.

Here are some of the highlights from the parade.

DJBC Tumblr Fall 22 - Arts in the Alley & Parade 2022

The Arts in the Alley Festival is held in the Grove City Town Center in Downtown Grove City on the third weekend of every September. On Saturday morning, there is a parade that lines up the streets of Downtown Grove City with marching bands, organizations, and candidates.

But the main draw to this weekend festival is the Arts and Crafts Festival, which lines up along the side streets of the Town Center, as well as the Voice of Grove City Singing Competition. The latter was held virtually in 2020.

The second annual merged Labor Day Block Party and Brewfest returned to Main Street in Downtown Bexley, as there were family-friendly activities and live music for all ages, an egg drop, an electric car show, and then Brewfest, which raised funds for Alzheimer's research as several local breweries had samples for adults (21+) to enjoy.

Here were some of the highlights.

DJBC Tumblr Fall 2022 - Columbus Italian Festival and Parade

Mangia! Mangia! Mangia!

The Columbus Italian Festival returned to the streets of Italian Village earlier this month. The festival, held in the streets surrounding Saint John the Baptist Parish, celebrated all things Italian Culture. There was traditional Italian cuisine, live music (from traditional Italian music, to opera, rock, and big band), and the return of the Parade and High School Band Competition.

Here are some of the highlights from Sunday at the Italian Festival, with Parade highlights included. Congrats to the "Pride of the Pioneers", Jonathan Alder High School, from Plain City for winning the Band Competition, and for Best Percussion, as well as runner-up, the Columbus East High School Marching Band, the Mighty Marching Tigers.

DJBC Tumblr Fall 22 - The 2022 Columbus Marathon

The Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon was this past weekend. Over 11,000 runners raced the streets of Downtown Columbus, the Near East Side, Bexley, the South Side, German Village, the Short North, the University District, Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, and Arena District. The race raised over $ 1 million for Nationwide Children's Hospital, which has been the beneficiary of the race since 2012.

Here are highlights of the race running through the Near East Side, with the last of the runners racing east on Broad Street towards Bexley, and then waves of runners headed west through Olde Towne East, before heading south towards Nationwide Children's Hospital and German Village.

The 2023 Columbus Marathon is October 15, 2023. And it is always held on the THIRD Sunday of October, in case you forget again next year. For more information, go to http://www.columbusmarathon.com.

DJBC Tumblr Fall 22 - Urban Scrawl XVI: Fall Harvest Edition

For 14 of the last 15 (we don't count 2020) years, Urban Scrawl has been an outdoor event held in late August, usually during the Doggy Days of Summer, when temperatures are in the 90s during the peak of the day.

This year, Franklinton Arts District and Scrawl Organizers decided to move Scrawl to mid-October, when it's not 90-plus outside. Saturday was chilly after the sun went down, and Sunday, the temperature was pleasant and respectable at 70, a stark contract to the sweltering August heat that Scrawl has been accustomed to.

Over 70 artists created panels of art that will be later auctioned off at Art For Franklinton in the Spring of 2023. New this year, there was Scrawl Jr., which saw younger artists create panels of their own.

There was also live music and DJ sets, a youth breakdancing competition, a locally based marketplace, and two new permanent murals being painted.

Here are some of the highlights from Saturday and Sunday from the first Fall Urban Scrawl.

DJBC Tumblr Fall/Summer 22 - The Hot Times Festival 2022

The Hot Times Festival returned to its familiar home of the grounds of the Columbus Health Department, the weekend after Labor Day. After a virtual event in 2020, and a scaled back event held at a former elementary school in 2021, it was exciting to see the return of the Near East Side staple festival, returning to its long-time home.

The Main Stage Headliners were Willie Phoenix (Friday), The Deal Breakers (Saturday), and The Ark Band (Sunday). Saturday evening featured the return of the Nancy Wilson Tribute Show, which also took place last year, when the festival was held a few blocks north over at the site of the former Douglass Elementary School (and future site of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Creative Campus). The Columbus Free Press Second Saturday Salon was held in person on the steps of the Health Department,

Friday evening saw the return of the Comfest Volunteer Appreciation Night, as Comfest was held in-person in June for the first time since 2019.

Here are highlights over the course of the three-day weekend.

There are once again hot times again in the Olde Towne Tonight.
