Here’s the text from the Westerville WorldWide PhotoWalk.
Begins at Blendon Township Cemetery. The cemetery, originally called Old Church Pioneer Cemetery, was founded in 1832 as a one-acre plot for “church and burial purposes” of the Blendon Presbyterian Church. The township received a similar donated plot of land across the road. That area expanded into the current cemetery covering with more than 10,00 graves. Look for the gravestones of the founders and early burials, some recently damaged in a drunk driver car wreck.
Stock around for the Blendon Township Senior Center with its Car and Motorcycle show. This annual event attracts a great selection of hot rods and awards 57 trophies to category winners. The show begins at 10 a.m. but the cars begin arriving much earlier. This is always a fun event to shoot and the car owners are pleasant and eager to please photographers who don’t touch their vehicles.
After you’ve tired of shooting cars, and their great owners, we’ll walk over to Inniswood Metro Park just up the road where we’ll finish the photowalk portion the day at 1 p.m. If you’ve been to Inniswood, you know all the possibilities. If not, this will be a great treat.
We’ll then meet for libations at Carsonie’s at the corner of Westerville and Dempsey Roads. The restaurant has wireless for anyone who wants to connect.
