“Now in its sixth year, Experience Columbus Days encourages locals to see Columbus the way visitors do and entices out-of-town visitors to experience the city,” said Paul Astleford, president and CEO of Experience Columbus. “We aim to make the program even easier to participate in this year through the mobile device policy and hope it entices residents and visitors alike will experience something new or re-visit a favorite spot they have not been to in a while.”
