Travels with The Friends of the Ohio Governor's Residence and Heritage Garden

Travelers with The Friends of the Ohio Governor's Residence and Heritage Garden arrived in Lakeside on June 27.

As the large custom coach was
ceremoniously escorted onto the Lakeside grounds, everyone quickly realized they were someplace special.

Also joining the trip in Lakeside was a Nor'easter, which is fairly unusual for Lakeside at this time of the year. It decided to arrive just a few hours before The Friends, thus unleashing a flurry of activity causing plans to quickly change.

What was to be an outdoor picnic became a beautifully unique, indoor garden party on the stage of Hoover Auditorium, complete with chirping birds.
