At the Columbus Grove Fall Festival, I had the opportunity to sit down with Stephanie and Aspen of The Growth Collective, a group of women working to bring businesses, families, friends, and the wider Columbus Grove community together.

They shared how the festival was created to help launch the fall season, build excitement for the coming holidays, support local businesses, and give families and neighbors a place to gather.

The festival brought together vendors from Columbus Grove and surrounding communities, with a farmers-market-style atmosphere, local organizations, family activities, food, and some unexpected attractions — including a reptile and aquarium rescue group raising funds while sharing exotic snakes and lizards with visitors.

Music was also part of the day, with Jason Wagner performing Americana, folk, and country music from the festival stage.

For KWMV 88.5 FM, The Al Timberlane Show, and The Ozark American Songbook, this is the kind of small-town American story we want to preserve during America’s Semiquincentennial and 250th anniversary year.

We’re thankful to Stephanie, Aspen, and The Growth Collective for taking the time to talk with us.

Here is the interview.
