Free trolley rides to various merchants and cultural institutions in Downtown Columbus will be available to the public on Saturday, December 2, 2023, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
This Downtown Holiday Trolley Hop offers participants unique holiday shopping options and fun activities for children. The event, in its 10th year, provides the perfect opportunity to champion small businesses and embrace the spirit of local shopping.
This year's trolley hop offers an array of attractions, including live music, children's crafts, steaming hot chocolate, scrumptious treats, and appearances by beloved Holiday characters.
New this year! A route to the Santa Extravaganza at the Lazarus Building and Common Thread Shops on Third has been added. The route includes a stop at the Museum of Catholic Art & History, with State Auto’s nativity scene now displayed at St Joseph Cathedral at 212 E. Broad St. The hop has been extended to 6 p.m. so that participants have a chance to view the holiday lights display at the Columbus Commons.

✨We celebrate Black History with renowned wood carver and artist, Columbus’ ELIJAH PIERCE!
✨Pictured is some of our own artisan’s wood creations! Each item is unique, one of a kind, and would make a fantastic gift.
▪️Elijah, the son of a slave, traveled the country by hopping freight trains, eventually settling in Columbus, Ohio, where he opened a barber shop in the King-Lincoln (formerly Bronzeville) area.
▪️He began carving at a young age using a pocket knife. He started carving animals because of his prior life of growing up on a farm.
▪️Pierce was honored in 1982 with a National Heritage Fellowship for his art and influence in the woodcarving community.
▪️His work is exhibited at the Columbus Museum of Art, the King Arts Complex and multiple places nationwide.

✨Happy Black History Month!
Here are a few pieces from some of our very talented black artists.
The more you know…
✨Delve into Columbus’ African American culture through the artwork of MacArthur Genius Grant winner Aminah Robinson.
✨Robinson believed in the African concept of Sankofa, understanding the past in order to go forward.
✨She was inspired by and memorialized an area of Columbus’ near east side known as the Blackberry Patch, which later became Poindexter Village.
✨Much of her art can be viewed and (main library).
✨Both are steps away from the shop!

🧀Stop in and buy a handmade cutting board and table decorations to celebrate National Cheese Lovers Day!!
🧀 FUN FACTS 🧀
🧀 Cheese is great for your teeth! Cheese is high in calcium, which is good for bones and teeth, and some varieties help stimulate saliva production, which eliminates sugar and acids from the mouth, helping to prevent tooth decay.
🧀 Cheese can help you fall asleep! According to a study by the British Cheese Board, thanks to a high amount of the amino acid tryptophan in cheese, eating a piece or two of cheese before hitting the hay every night can help you fall asleep quicker.

Happy National Bird Day!
🪶Did you know we have a hawk that hangs out around the store?
🦉While some species migrate south during the winter, many of Ohio's resident birds, such as northern cardinals, screech-owls, woodpeckers, and several species of hawks remain here.
🦉Winter also brings new visitors from the north, such as pine siskins, northern shrikes, snow buntings, and dark-eyed juncos.
