CINCINNATI AND SOUP: ENQUIRER AD

Just wanted to let you know that we had our first paid "ad" in the Cincinnati Enquirer, April 22, 2012
to let everyone know WHO our major retailers are at this time. We want people to patronize the stores
not always shop online... also we DO have Cinti and Soup Book # 1 at The Greater Cincinnati Police Museum and in selected Katie's Hallmarks in the Dayton area both books  #1 and 2 they are not in all stores so if you want the books from those stores you do need to call before you head out the door.

We are looking at a very busy May with more events and food tips. Hope you are enjoying the extra "soup weather" we are having-- I made a pot of White Bean and Pasta Soup yesterday and it really hit the spot with the after church crowd. Photo: Edisto Gardens: Orangeburg S.C.

GIVE BACK CINCINNATI 2012

Cincinnati and Soup is now in the midst of our first "GIVE BACK" event! Over the spring we have been involved in donating our new art prints of our 2 covers re-invented to decorator prints by artist, Erin Beckloff to promote charitable giving.
So far we have had one event for BRIDGE RIDING FOR THE DISABLED: April 7, we will be having a second for LEAGUE FOR ANIMAL WELFARE on May 10 4-8 at the Little Red Gift Shop and a third. June 10 from 1-4 at Glenwood Gardens for the HAMILTON CO. PARKS FOUNDATION: Dog Park ( more later)
These are great events where we will raise awareness and for every $50. donation you will receive a gift FREE of the 2 matted Cincinnati prints. ( They retail in gift shops for $25.00 a set.)Also be watching for our first ad in the Cincinnati Enquirer on April 22 in the Local Section with our current retailers listed. In addition, you can still order books from: vintagecincinnati.etsy.com

This has been an amazing spring so hope that you are cooking up a storm and enjoying the weather.
