Event Details & Updates

We are all excited and look forward to coming back together to celebrate in person for the 2021 event. We represent one of the largest constituencies of high-risk individuals for complications or death from COVID-19. As such, we ask that everyone practice social distancing and observe mask mandates when and where applicable. So, let’s GET BACK TO JINGLING! And be champions for those living with arthritis. 

Our emcee this year is none other than Bob Nunnally who has been a well-known TV and radio personality in Central Ohio for more than 25 years.

Bring some extra spending cash, as we will have some food/beverage trucks on-site to help keep you warm.

Also, there is a rumor that Mr. Clause and his helpers will be paying us a visit and taking pictures by our holiday tree!
