🎡 Fair fanfare

Dublin • July 7, 2025

​

Good morning, Dublin. Mark your calendars for a century-old tradition returning to central Ohio this summer! The Ohio State Fair kicks off its 12-day extravaganza on July 23, bringing everything from Foreigner concerts to agricultural exhibitions to the historic fairgrounds. With adult tickets at $12 and special themed days including a Sensory-Friendly Morning, this 175-year-old institution continues to evolve while maintaining its classic summer appeal.

While fair-goers enjoy modern entertainment, it's fascinating to consider Columbus' pioneering aviation history. In 1929, our region became the eastern terminal for America's first coast-to-coast passenger service, the innovative "Lindbergh Line" that combined planes and trains for a 48-hour transcontinental journey. Though the $353 one-way fare (about $6,500 today) limited its accessibility, this transportation breakthrough laid the groundwork for John Glenn International's ongoing expansion nearly a century later.

✈️ Columbus was once America's pioneering hub for transcontinental travel. In 1929, the city became the eastern terminal for the first scheduled coast-to-coast passenger service combining trains and planes. The innovative "Lindbergh Line" route took travelers from New York to Los Angeles in 48 hours, with passengers flying by day and traveling by train at night. Despite Charles Lindbergh's involvement and initial public enthusiasm, the service faced challenges including high fares ($353 one-way, equivalent to $6,500 today) and safety concerns. Nearly a century later, John Glenn International Airport continues this legacy of transportation innovation with construction of a new terminal underway.
