Feature

ComFest needs people with professional license and/or other comparable standing in health care & medicine are automatically welcome. For those not, you only need to have certified training (Red Cross and American Heart Assn courses qualify) in First Aid & CPR, or otherwise demonstrate appropriate skills.

We operate two First Aid Stations: the Main Station, in the center of Goodale Park, is just a bit northwest of Safety Radio Base, and adjacent to Cleanup & Recycling, Signage, and the golf cart corral. It operates 9am-midnight on Friday, somewhat earlier on Saturday and Sunday. Station 2 is on the east edge of Goodale Park, across the street from the intersection of Park Street and West Poplar, and operates 3-11pm Friday, and 3-9pm Saturday and Sunday. Both First Aid Stations are in synch with a three-member unit of firefighter/paramedics from the Special Events Office of the Columbus Division of Fire. Firefighters and colleagues are members of Local 67, IAF.

The craft-brewing wave sweeping the US makes drinking beer more fun than ever. Maryland’s Flying Dog Brewery brews a beer from oysters, and the Delaware-based Dogfish Head uses an ancient beer recipe they dug up from 2,700-year-old drinking vessels in the tomb of King Midas.
  But as this trend spreads, there is another revolution going on that’s concentrating most of the world’s beer into the hands of a few mega-corporations. These so-called kings of beer are riding the wave of craft brewing enthusiasm, buying up smaller breweries, and duping customers along the way.
