Speaker 1 (00:00):
Librarian, all the different branches and everything that they have
going on. That's fascinating for the month of December and
the holidays and Christmas, it's so much fun. Another great
place to go, without a doubt is Cosine.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It is I mean again, it's something to put on
your calendar during this month. They have a couple of
things that are special for the holidays and a thing
or two that are just special in general that you
want to share with your family. We've got Josh Starver
on the line with us, who is pinch hitting for
doctor Birdley.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
But Josh, it is always good to also talk to you.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
It's always great to talk to you guys as well.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
So so much happening.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Let's start first of all with the holiday related items,
since Mindy and I are there in our heads today
and so is everybody else. Season of Celebrations. For those
folks who don't know what this exhibit is and how
it completely fits in with their holiday plan, can you
talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Absolutely. Season the Celebrations is our new tradition. This is
our third year of offering it to the public and
collaboration with our community partners who come to Coside to
decorate dozens of trees all around our buildings, so you'll
see them trees for stuff like the Columbus Opera or
the Department of Commerce, or the Columbus Zoo and a
few of your other community friendly groups that have come
(01:20):
out to help us. And then you'll also see steam
trees throughout the entire building, whether it's Tiksar which is
the current traveling exhibition that we have, or Wild Crats
which is another one, Crackerjack and some of your favorites
like Gadgets and Ocean and many more.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I have to say and show, Mindy, we did quite
the tree for season of celebrations and I'm so glad
you mentioned it, Josh.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
We had so much fun decorating this thing, Mindy, And you.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Say, we talk about who we is. This tree that
you're showing me is outstanding, But I know we isn't
like you, your husband and your boys.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It's them.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
We're at my full time job, the Department of We
decided it was time to join as a community group
and decorate a tree.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
So as you can.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Tell, we did a Commerce story instead of a Christmas
story and themed our tree that way awesome. And Josh,
each group does a theme. I love opera Columbuses. I
think that it looks amazing.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, they do a fantastic job. Everyone comes and does
something unique and it's amazing to see every single year
it gets a little bit better. I think there's a
little competition going on between the community partners now, which
I love to see.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I was going to ask you that I was being
the competitor. Everything's in competition, whether we're playing a board
game or anything in our family. That's such a good idea.
You ought to invite judges in and pick like the
top three trees. I have to admit, Michayla's showing me
a commerce story and it's like the same emblem as
a Christmas story. Who thought of that? Mikayla, that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
A graphic designer and the gal who does our event coordination,
Katie and Susie Bland, and they did a fantastic job.
And Josh, that might be a good idea, wink wink
for next year. I don't know if that could ever
come into it, but.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Get some celebrity judges and let them pick the top
three trees.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I do think you did.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You have hot Coco in there.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Isn't there kind of like a bar scene, so to speak,
inside the space this year.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
That's right, that's something new for us. We call it
a dapper yetti. So come on in and get your
hot cocoa and a sweet treat. And as you move
around the corner, don't be scared, but the yetti himself
is there, so you can take a photo off with
a fantastic.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yetti that is hilarious. But don't you think, you know,
Kosa is great to go to any time of the year,
but I think there's something special about walking through those
doors during the holidays, don't you think, Josh.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, absolutely, it's a great experience for your family. Make
it a tradition for them every single year. So whether
you're you have family in town or you're just visiting
yourselves with the family, it's a fantastic experience and we're
good for all ages. As you guys mentioned before, we
have those nice tickets for Kosai after Dark.

doesn't have to be the twenties. Maybe it's the thirties, forties, fifties.

in Raw today. What's your favorite decade? Win yourself a
four pack to go to Kosai after Dark. I love
(05:00):
cosit after Dark. We've been there with the fam, And
what do you think if someone's never been there, Josh,
what would be the one thing you would tell them
to get them into the doors to experience this part
of Kosite after Dark.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You know, I think no matter what your age in
terms of after twenty one, whether you're you know, Owding
a little bit young at heart, it's a great experience
for you to experience Kosi without the kids all around.
So don't worry. You won't have to wait your turn

what else do you guys have going on right now?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
That's special different for this time of year.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You know, we have our fantastic travel nix editions like

Definitely recommend individuals taking advantage of it, whether you're going
to treat a family member or a friend, or maybe
even treat yourself.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So what made you create that change. It's a great idea,
you know.

I think it's something that we've always wanted to offer,
and we had a great relationship this year with a
couple of the local experiences as well. So if you
get this membership, you can also give away two tickets
to Disney on Ice, two tickets to the Circus, and

the way to create what we see on the big screen.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
