Thinking About Warmer Days in Galion

I'm sitting here in my office, in the middle of a winter storm that's hitting Galion and North Central Ohio today, thinking about things I want to do when warmer weather gets here.

Historical Society Tours


Aside from just wanting to take a walk through town and window shop at the stores on Harding Way on a warm sunny afternoon, I'm looking forward to spending some time at the parks and taking a tour of Brownella Cottage. 

Summer Festivals


I'm not really a fan of the festivals - not a fan of the noise and crowds - but I go anyways, because I do love grabbing a funnel cake from the hospice's stand or a gyro from Mo's stand when it's up there.

 Visiting the Parks


While Heise Park is always a great place to stop and enjoy a picnic lunch in summer, I also love visiting the quiet little park on Boston Street to relax. For hiking, I like heading out to Lowe-Volk Park. (I know it's outside of town, but the Chamber of Commerce included it in the community guide, so I am, too.) They keep the trails well maintained and it's just an exceptionally beautiful park.

These are just a few of the things I miss most on cold, snowy days like this - and just thinking about them brightens my mood.

How about you? What warm weather Galion activities do you look forward to the most?

Galion Weekend Weather Update for January 12 Through January 14

There's another storm headed for Galion and North Central Ohio, according to NOAA, but NOAA's current predictions as of 1/11/18 aren't as exciting as the first ones released.

A couple days ago, the forecast was that Galion would be getting two to twenty-four inches of snow. As of today, January 11, 2018, those numbers are a bit lower -- but you'll want to watch out for the ice and sleet on Friday afternoon and overnight.

Friday January 12, 2018 Weather for Galion


For Friday January 12, 2018, the current prediction is for morning rain, a rain-sleet mix until about 3:00PM, lower temperatures are expected to turn it all into a wintry mix by 5:00PM, with ice accumulations up to 1/10 of an inch and sleet accumulations of one to two inches.

Saturday January 13, 2018 Galion Weather


It's supposed to turn to snow overnight, with 100% chance of precipitation leaving locals shoveling 2-4 inches of snow on Saturday morning.

Current predictions include blustery winds and less than an inch of snow during the day Saturday and less than half an inch of snow overnight Saturday night and into Sunday.

Galion Weather for Sunday January 14, 2018


The snow is supposed to be done by 8:00AM Sunday morning, the high temperature is expected to be around 16 degrees, and the chance of precipitation is fairly low for Sunday, only around 30%.

3 Free and Unique Events at the Citadel in Galion

Before I proceed, I want to be clear that I've never been to the Citadel in Galion, but I have been planning to stop in because it sounds great! I found these three events that are going to be held at the Citadel - they were listed in Facebook posts, and since not everyone has Facebook, I was excited to share the posted info about the events here.

The Citadel RPG and Gaming in Galion, Ohio

The Citadel RPG and Gaming is located at 343 Harding Way East in Galion, Ohio. It's been in business for about a year, and by all reports, it's a great venue for teens and anyone who just wants something fun to do in Galion.

Star Trek Adventures RPG


Starting January 20, 2018, every other Saturday at 7:00PM, the Citadel is the place for Trekkies who enjoy RPG to meet up. These events are free, but space is limited for this one, so you need to make a reservation to be sure you get to enjoy boldly going where no one has gone before in this gaming event.

Pokémon Go Meetups 


This event meets every Monday evening from 5:00PM until 8:00PM, free popcorn is included and the event is free, too. (The price IS right!) I was especially excited to see this one because I was planning to write up a fitness walking route that includes Pokémon Go stops in Galion to go along with my review of the YMCA (for anyone trying to get in shape.)

Geeky Coloring Night


This one doesn't start until February and it looks like a blast! The second Monday of each month, stop by the Citadel in Galion for "Geeky" coloring. The Citadel is providing free coloring pages and popcorn, so just bring your creativity and unwind over some good old fashioned coloring!


If you do have Facebook and want to connect with the Citadel RPG and Gaming in Galion that way, here is a link to the Citadel RPG and Gaming's page.
