Columbus Winterfair is a fine art and craft fair featuring the works of over 350 artists from across the country. Free admission for school groups will be offered on the first day of the fair, Friday 10 am–7 pm. Schedule your group by emailing the education coordinator at [email protected]. Deadline for registering a tour is November 21; please leave the following information when registering: 1)-Teacher Name, 2)-School, 3)-Contact Phone #, 4)-Your first choice of arrival time, starting at 10am (times assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis), 5)-Number of students and number buses, and 6)-number of teachers/chaperones.
