🎁 Cincinnati's favorite holiday shopping extravaganza returns for its 25th year. The Greater Cincinnati Holiday Market will welcome shoppers November 7-9 at the Sharonville Convention Center, featuring over 230 vendors selling handmade gifts, decor, apparel, and gourmet foods. Special events include extended Girls' Night Out shopping hours, festive photo opportunities with Santa, and hourly "Merry Money" drawings where guests can win gift cards. Visitors can also enjoy food, drinks, and a package check service provided by SPCA Cincinnati while exploring what show manager Kelly Scott calls "holiday magic all under one roof."
🚣♀️ Cincinnati's Mill Creek gets new pocket park with kayak launch. The city partnered with three community groups to create this small riverside recreational space. Officials hope the park will eventually lead to extending a bike trail along the waterway. The project is part of a larger vision to stimulate real estate investment throughout the Mill Creek corridor. The park represents an important first step in revitalizing this underutilized natural resource in Cincinnati.
🗳️ Warren County's ballot is packed with local candidates this November. Voters across multiple municipalities will choose council members, township trustees, and school board representatives in the upcoming election. The nonpartisan races feature contested seats in communities like Carlisle, Lebanon, Mason, and Springboro. School district elections are particularly competitive, with Kings, Lebanon, and Mason districts each having multiple candidates vying for board positions. Township trustee races also show strong civic engagement with multiple candidates competing in Clearcreek, Deerfield, Hamilton and other townships.
