Columbus Holiday Ornaments

Access-Ability (formerly Easter Seals)

There is an annual release of a collectible holiday ornament featuring prominent Columbus buildings issued by Access-Ability (formerly Easter Seals) as a fundraiser. Access-Ability loans durable medical equipment (wheelchairs, hospital beds, shower seats and more) to any Bartholomew Co. resident. In addition they have partnered with several other organizations to help them produce ornaments for their fundraisers.

Week 51 (Columbus Holiday Ornaments) — 1 Comment

  1. Great site! I love the Christmas ornaments. I have one from every year and looking for 1 more from 1998…City Hall.., the year my youngest son was born. Do you know of any way to find one to buy. I have asked at the visitors center, but they do not have one.
