Things are getting pinteresting

Posted on 9:44 AM by Unknown
That's right, the Ohio State Fair has officially joined Pinterest, and our pin boards just keep growing! Here's a peek at what you'll find on our Pinterest page:

Ribbon-worthy recipes
We're scouring the Internet for mouthwatering recipes, and sharing some of our very own favorites from previous Ohio State Fairs (like this 1986 blue ribbon carrot cake or this 2011 award-winning fresh blackberry pie).

Fairtastic photos
By searching "Ohio State Fair" on Pinterest we stumbled across some amazing shots of rides, food and tradition for this collection - from engagement pictures taken by professional photographers to impressive Instagram snapshots.

Backyard beauty
While we may be months away from spring planting, it's never too early to find ways to beautify your backyard (and think about showing off the fruits of your labor in the agriculture and horticulture competitions at the Fair!). We've found clever ways to repurpose items for gardening - like a skid planter, rain boot flower pots and a log planter.

Fair food
We can't neglect the delectable deep-fried Fair treats! We're compiling a board of food featured at the Fair, like deep-fried Kool Aid, the doughnut burger and chocolate-covered bacon on a stick - also known as a "muddy pig" - all pictured here.

Search is on for former All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir members

Posted on 4:00 AM by Unknown
Were you ever a part of the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir since its formation in 1963? If so, we're looking for you!


The Ohio State Fair and former members of the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir have issued an invitation to all alumni of this prestigious choral group to return for a series of performances in memory of the choir’s former director Glenville Thomas during the 2013 Ohio State Fair from Friday, Aug. 2 through Saturday, Aug. 3.
Members of the 2012 All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir
march through the grounds on the way to a performance. 

Any individual who sang in the All Ohio State Fair Youth Choir from 1963 to 2012 and would like to participate in these special commemorative concerts should contact Stewart or event co-chair Malcolm Spence at thevoicesofohio@columbus.rr.com or register online at www.tributetoglenvillethomas.com. 

In all, more than 1,000 former All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir singers are expected to assemble at the Ohio State Fair next summer for a weekend of special choral concerts to celebrate the memory of the choir’s founding director.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Fine Arts Director creates blue ribbon holiday artwork

Posted on 8:39 AM by Unknown

Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Director Pamela O’Loughlin likes getting crafty, even in the off season. So when an opportunity arises to create a new work of art, she jumps at the chance. Most recently, it included an unexpected medium – food.

With the help of her son, Aaron, Pam got to work last week using rice krispie treats, pretzels, ice cream cones, crushed cookies, gum drops and countless pieces of delicious candy. The final product?  A miniature (and edible) version of the playground at Wickliffe Elementary, Aaron’s school.

The Big Toy

The mouthwatering masterpiece was one of 22 outstanding entries in the Upper Arlington Gingerbread Building Competition judged during the library’s Holiday Happiness event on Saturday, Dec. 1. The creation, entitled The Big Toy, took home first place in the “other” category.

Entries were judged by Ben Gelber, meteorologist at NBC4, Steven Sims from Steven's Catering, and Tim and Glenda Huffman from Huffman's Market. Entries were scored on a scale of 1-10 on originality/creativity; difficulty; precision; and overall appearance.
