... for the Ohio State Fair that started today. 
So expect many hotels to be full, especially close to the fairgrounds. 

The fairgrounds are about a mile east of OSU. 
The fairgrounds are near I-71, so expect lodging along I-71 to 
be full. SR 315 goes along the opposite side of OSU. 
Expect better luck along SR 315, or further west.
