Juneteenth is here! We have a lot of Juneteenth events in Columbus, enough that I could’ve filled the entire event section with just those, so I’ve broken those out into a separate section below.

On another note, how did everybody like the new sections layout last week? Was that too much information, or did you like the added sections? Reply to this and let me know what you think. While you’re replying, if you’re enjoying this newsletter, consider sharing it with a friend.
