Creekside Blues Festival
Columbus blues guitarist Sean Carney talks about the fun and family atmosphere at the Creekside Blues Festival. June 14th – 16th 2013. Creekside Blues Festival
Columbus today , with the rest of the nation, will mark the inauguration of Barack Obama with luncheons, viewing parties, and evening balls. Festivities get underway late this morning as four movie theatres in town, several campus locations and the King Arts Complex on Mount Vernon Avenue will all host visitors who want to watch the swearing-in at noon.
In workplaces, schools and at homes, Central Ohioans stopped what they were doing to witness history. WOSU reporters watched the inauguration with three groups of people. WOSU’s Sam Hendren leads off our coverage. He watched the ceremony at the Martin Luther King Center on Columbus’ Mount Vernon Avenue.
Governor Ted Strickland’s late-night swearing-in was the legal one. But Democrats will not settle for that as their only celebration.
