Hello, It’s me, the Funny One. I did two funny drawings for the funny newspaper, and I’ll do more tomorrow! Two are better than none. Today’s state is Ohio. That’s where Captain Underpants is from. This is the author’s website. http://www.pilkey.com/ His books are great! Also, in Ohio there is an underwear festival, and that’s what gave me the idea for today’s picture. What is there to do in Ohio? You can go and see the Ohio Statehouse. It’s one of America’s finest examples of Greek Revival Architecture and is one of the oldest working Statehouses in the United States. There is also the Buckeye Book Fair. If you go you will have the opportunity to meet nearly 100 famous Ohio writers, illustrators and photographers. You’ll also be able to get autographed copies of their latest books at a discount. There’s also the Pump House Center For The Arts. It was built-in 1882 as the water source to fight fires for the historic city of Chillicothe, plus there’s the Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival. I love pumpkins. Visit the Concourse Gallery and see fun and interesting paintings by Lee Csuri. They’ll put a smile on your face. Go in the Three-acre Corn Maze. That could be fun, but I would probably get lost and be in there all night. Well, at least I could eat the corn. The Earth Science Week Fossil Tour is where you’ll learn all about fossils. Learn about how geoscientists gather and interpret data about the Earth and other planets. That sounds cool! http://www.earthsciweek.org./ There’s also wine tasting festivals here, too. Mmmmm wine. There’s the Annual Antique Motorcycle Exhibit. That would be so cool to go to. Visit Williams Park to see “Sculpture in the Village” and walk among sculptures which are among the trees, flowers and the lake. It’s FREE to go. I like it best when things are free. The sculptures in the park represent many of the most prominent sculptors from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont and will be on display for one year for all to enjoy. Grand Return of the Scarecrows, when the leaves fall from the tress, the weathers changes and the harvesting of pumpkins, you know that it’s time for the Grand Return of the Scarecrows. Great Fun! If you like baking, like me, then there’s the Holiday Cookie Tour. The ticket price includes a map of the participating locations, a decorative holiday container and a gift certificate to a downtown eatery. Ticket holders will visit all the participating shops to collect homemade cookies, coupons and recipe cards to fill the containers. Mmmmmm Cookies. If you like trains, there’s the The Flag City Train Show which includes model trains, toy trains, and railroad memorabilia for sale by various dealers. After paying admission, the ticket prices are $2.00 adults and $1.00 children 12 and younger, during show hours. The train will make a stop at the 1920s era B&O caboose for a tour inside. Watch various toy and model train layouts as well as a display of antique Erector sets. Explore many other displays in the railroad museum. Food service all day. That’s great! Mmmmm food service. There is so much to do in Ohio and I can’t mention them all. I’ll leave it there for now with my fun pic!
