Located within the City of Columbus is The Ohio State University, though the culture associated with the university largely extends into the overall area representing the University District, including Old North Columbus and Glen Echo in the northern part of the area. Further east is the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds, for which the Ohio RV and Boat Show, the Ohio National Poultry Show, the All American Quarter Horse Congress, Schmidt’s Columbus Oktoberfest, the All American Youth Horse Show, Scott Antique Markets, and the Ohio State Fair, just to name a few.
Typically, the events of the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds occur at different times throughout the year. In the case of the Ohio RV and Boat Show, mid-January is considered the typical timing. For the Ohio National Poultry Show, early-to-mid-November is the expected time of year. With respect to the All American Quarter Horse Congress, typical timing is late September through mid-October, following Schmidt’s Columbus Oktoberfest earlier on in September. The Scott Antique Markets are typically associated with the ends of November, December, January, February, and March; the All American Youth Horse Show with May; and the Ohio State Fair proper with the end of July and the beginning of August.
