The sugar buzz has finally ended and now it’s time to take a look back at the inaugural Columbus Donut Fest.
There was a lot to love at Columbus Donut Fest. From the epic treats to the neverending energy of the volunteers, it was a total celebration of something we can all agree on: Donuts are freakin’ amazing.
“I am so thankful for every person who invested their time into the first Columbus Donut Fest,” said event organizer Leanne Moore, Director of Events (and fun) at Columbus Navigator. “Our Vendors, Sponsors and event guests are really what made the day special and of course we couldn’t have pulled it off without our volunteers. Everyone put a lot of love into this first event and I am so excited to make it even more amazing in the years to come!”
