1) Not recommending the Bartholomew County 4-H Fair for true-blue Americana slice-of-life fun beginning Friday on County Road 200 South would be like forgoing chocolate bunnies on Easter. It’s just wrong. Therefore, consider yourself nudged in the direction of animal exhibits, a mind-spinning midway, pie baking, live music and more food than you could ever possibly consume. If nothing else, revel in the carnival barkers’ promise of winning a bit of self-esteem in two quick tosses of determination. Information: bartholomewcountyfair.com.
2) Your youngster might get so happy they could pop over Columbus Parks and Recreation’s free Bubbles Galore program from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Friday at Donner Center, 739 22nd St. in Columbus. Children can make bubble wands and create bubbles large enough to stand in. Information: columbusparksandrec.com.
