COLUMBUS, OH – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is helping Ohioans with their destination planning by promoting outdoor recreation opportunities April 22-23 at Paddlepalooza: Ohio’s Outdoors Expo (www.paddlepalooza.net). The event is being held in the Lausche Building at the Ohio Expo Center near downtown Columbus.
