There are several Ohio events that are annually held in February. These events are excellent for seeing bits of the state that you miss by just visiting the large cities. These are great for weekends or vacations. In Sardinia you will find The Cabin Fever Arts Festival. The festival features arts and crafts from the Appalachian Artisans Guild and several guest artists. There are a variety of crafts and gifts available for purchase including stained glass, wood furniture, wooden toys, ceramics and Shaker boxes. There will also be several local musicians and traditional music as well as Appalachian style food.
The Ice Festival is another cabin fever buster. In Medina you will find a small “Norman Rockwell” community that features beautiful ice sculptures and ice carving competitions. There are also several shops to visit and warm up in. The festival is held in the historic town square. The Lima Mid-Winter Powwow is an annual event in Lima, Ohio. The Ohio Native Ancestral Association holds the powwow every year. It features Native American arts, crafts, food, dancing and singing. All dancers are welcome to join in.
The National Packard Museum is located in Warren. The museum is home to several restored and original Packard vehicles. There are historic exhibitions rotated monthly and the museum features many beautiful vehicles as well as a research station. Orchid Mania is held annually in Cleveland and is an ode to the most exotic plant in nature. For five weeks during the year the Cleveland Botanical Gardens are alive with these exotic plants of color, scents and unique shapes. There will be top interior designers and floral designers available to show you how to incorporate orchids into your own home.
In Canal Fulton you can visit for the Annual Dead of Winter event. This is an opportunity to dine in a century old building that once housed a mortuary, saloon and grocery store. You will also have the opportunity to hear presentations on paranormal investigators and a psychic medium. They will also show you how to use ghost-hunting equipment so that you can do your own hunting in the basement after dinner. In Portsmouth you will find a new Native American Indian Art Exhibit at the Southern Ohio Museum. This is an ongoing permanent exhibit that brings history to life as you view the Art of the Ancients: The Ohio Valley.
