Watch this time lapse transformation of the Expo Center

Posted on 5:27 AM by Unknown
The home of the Fair, the Ohio Expo Center, is a year-round event facility that is rented by roughly 150 different event holders every single year.

One of these great events, the Dispatch Home & Garden Show, kicks off in late February. Before the event opens, the Bricker Building and Celeste Center start as empty buildings with concrete floors. Over the course of just a few days, though, they become a gardening wonderland filled with flowers, fountains and patios galore.


Like what you see? The Home & Garden Show is going on now through Sunday, March 3!
