    Starting at NOON, we're serving up performing arts, an art show and sale, local authors and hands-on community art all the way from Losantiville to Kennedy Ave. Music on the hour in multiple locations will include Nyeemah McDonald, Under Cover and choirs in Kennedy Heights, while Phil DeGreg, Kindred Spirits, Julie Spangler Klug, 40 Watt, Serenity Fisher, Mike Fair and the Adventure Seekers, Direct Route, the Fabulous Cheap Suits, Nativity C.O.D.E. and the Ne'er Do Wells play in Pleasant Ridge.

    Restaurants will feature specialties-of-the-day. Festival food service will be continuous. On into the evening, expect many venues to offer even more programs and partying. And of course, Pleasant Ridge Chili will be open till you can smell what's baking at the Ridge Donut Shop.

    News From the Arts Center

    The Kennedy Heights Arts Center is pleased to announce the opening of Click V, our fifth annual photography exhibition on October 10, 2009 from 6 to 8 p.m.

    The theme of this year's juried exhibition "Back to Basics" focuses on images of technology, old and new.

    Click V also features a solo show by acclaimed photojournalist Gordon Baer and collaborator Michael Bolan titled "Dead Tech: A National Plight". This show is a visual journey about the demise of Cincinnati Milacron. Once an industry giant known worldwide for high-precision metal cutting, Milacron's now abandoned 140-acre habitat tells the personal story of generations of workers left behind. The gallery is open to the public Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors are asked to call 631-4278 for more information. The exhibit runs through November 7. Admission is free.
