Get hyped.
Good morning. Here's what you need to know for Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2016:
For many, spring means warmth, wildlife and sunshine. That holds true for Ohio University students, with an addition: Fest season.
If you’re looking forward to those days of booze-fueled merriment, you can start to mark your calendar.
Over the weekend, a Facebook page called “Fests of Athens, OH” listed dates for five Fests. Those dates are as follows:
March 11 — Milliron Fest
March 12 — Mill Fest
March 19 — High Fest
April 08 — Palmer Place Fest
April 09 — Palmer Fest
That missing weekend is Moms Weekend.
Check back with The Post following each Fest for detailed arrest statistics and comments from local police forces.
