Around Cincinnati

If you are looking for some truly Cincinnati holiday gifts, you might want to check out Rookwood Pottery’s upcoming open house on November 17 and 18. Rookwood’s Art Director Allan Nairn and CEO Martin Wade join Frank Johnson to talk about some of the new items that will be available for this holiday, including tree ornaments and unique vases.

Chelsea VandeDrink spends a few minutes with the founder of the Urban Farming organization, Taja Sevelle, who has a local focus on reutilizing rain water by capturing it in 30 barrels purchased through a grant from the Coca-Cola Company, then using that to water the community gardens Urban Farming has around Cincinnati.

Downtown’s Landor Asssociates will bring back the feeling of years gone by when they decorate the windows in their building, which once was the Shillito’s department store. These windows, while they may bring back memories of family visits downtown in the past, are very 21st century with modern interpretations of classic holiday scenes with an interactive multi-media display. Scott Dannenfelser, Landor’s design director for brand environment, joins Lee Hay to talk about why Landor has resurrected this tradition and what visitors can expect.
