The Nati

Join me the first annual event with Give Back Cincinnati called 'Community Immersion'. It's an all day event in traditional Give Back fashion, but you can leave your shovels and rakes at home and bring out your thinking caps. We will rotate around the region each year and explore a new community. We're out to learn about the history, the architecture, the people and the future.

There is no better community than Over-the-Rhine to launch this endeavour. There is no Cincinnati community as rich in history, culture, architecture, prosperity, strife, fits and starts. It's a community in constant flux, and one that is currently in a period of tremendous possibility. Join us as we take a look at the history and future of this community.

Best of all - It's FREE! (Including Lunch and Drink Tickets!) - So please come out and join us on Saturday Oct. 13th!

Come on out on Saturday May 5th for a big Party on Fountain Square. The event is free and open to the public and is being put on by Give Back Cincinnati.

CiN Weekly features the event this week, and has all the detals. But it's got a little something for everyone. The Derby will be shown on Fountain Squares big LED, and we'll have a cornhole tournament from 5-7 PM. After the Derby there will be Live music from locals Ellison and the Newbees. Througout the entire event we'll be featuring Mint Juleps with Bourbon from Woodford Reserve (the official Bourbon of the Derby).

Perhaps even more exciting for me will be one of the first chances to publicly try Christian Moerlein's new beer... OTR Ale. I tried it last weekend at Findlay and I can tell you it's TASTY!

See you on Saturday. PS for those running on Sunday, we'll have plenty of cheap water at the event, so come on out, have some fun and hydrate!
