Someone once said, "If you know 2 things about everything, you don't have to be an expert on much," which may follow the jack-of-all-trades theory which I generally endorse.

Second Sunday on Main has something for everyone as evidenced by the directional sign for Ice Cream, Puppies & Jewelry. In my humble opinion as a marketer, the only way that sign could have been better is if it said: Ice Cream, Puppies, Jewelry, Beer.

Second Sunday on Main, A hip, eclectic neighborhood event, presented by the Over-the-Rhine Chamber of Commerce, begins its fourth season on May 11 and continues through September 14 on the second Sunday of every month from 12 – 5 p.m. in historic Over-the-Rhine on Main Street between 13th and Liberty. The event is free and open to the public.

Shoo, it was hot this weekend at Oktoberfest. (I was there during the day on Saturday.) It was the usual lineup of all things German and a few carnival rides for the kids.  

Northside is home to one of the best parades of the Summer. The best part is, it's in the middle of the day, so you don't have to get up early to see everything!

Celebrate Equality and Freedom on Main is the theme this month. For more information click here.

Global Salsa-tion is the theme this month. For more information click here.

Opera Dogs is the theme this month. For more information click here.

Pictured here is a new mural painted on Main Street just this week. I spend a great Sunday afternoon on Main Street at the Second Sunday on Main Festival, the monthly summer street festival that showcases the North Main business district.

The highlight was the cooking demonstration from Chef Jean Robert de Cavel and a great lesson on matching wines from Sommelier Paul Ortiz. The dish was salmon with this egg dressing that was excellent. The wine chosen to match was actually champagne. If you've not seen Jean Robert cook live you really should take the opportunity. He looks like a symphony conductor, a friend even said he has conductor hair.

I can also attest that the Christian Moerlein OTR Pale Ale is pretty good.

Save the Second Sunday's for the rest for the rest of summer: June 10, July 8, August 12, and September 9.

Below the scene at Enjoy the Arts where the cooking demonstration took place.

I love Northside.  This article is about Northside, but in reality it is just a test of using a new scheduling function.
