Not long after introducing Kristina Johnson as the 16th President of The Ohio State University, retiring President Michael Drake announced plans for in-person classes for the autumn semester of 2020.

There will be a phased approach to returning to campus. All in-person university events are canceled through July 6th with non-essential OSU employees continuing to work remotely.

The announcement says OSU will “transition to a new stage of the research recovery plan for reopening on-campus research labs, studio and field activities.”

The statement did not mention plans for the Buckeyes taking the field this fall.

The Ohio Jeep Fest is normally held the first weekend in July at the Ross County Fairgrounds, but due to ongoing health concerns from the coronavirus pandemic, it’s been rescheduled for October 2, 3 & 4, 2020.

Barry Haubeil says the live entertainment for July, country rock band Confederate Railroad, will not be available for the October dates, but the Ohio Jeep Fest should have live entertainment depending on the State of Ohio’s orders by the time this fall rolls around.

Attendees can still expect the normal trails, obstacles and vendors.

Haubeil added with the new dates falling in October, there may be a Halloween the event.
