Main Street Holiday Stroll & Shop + more!

I'm out of town this weekend, so I'm going to miss out on a lot of great stuff to get me in the holiday mood, but hopefully the turn out will be great to all these events. If i get back early, I'm definitely checking out some of these Sunday holiday arts sales!
- Main Street Holiday Stroll & Shop, 12/5 (11-7) + 12/6 (12-5): Main Street in OTR keeps the foot traffic high during the summers with the "Second Sunday on Main" events, but this is a new one for the holidays. All of the stores and galleries will be open during these times, and will be happy to sell their goods or just get the foot traffic up in their stores. Be sure to stop by Iris Bookcafe and have a hot cup of something to ward off the chills!
- Here's to Our Health Happy Hour, 12/3 (tonite!) 5:30-8:00 PM @ ART BEYOND BOUNDARIES GALLERY, 1410 MAIN STREET in OTR. This is a partnering between Community Shares and YP Cincy, so there should be a great mixture of folks there. Basically its an event to raise awareness about the healthcare groups that Community Shares supports in the area. There is a 5$ suggested donation @ the door for wine and snacks. Here's a little blurb on what each of these organizations does: Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati is a partnership of 27 local nonprofit organizations building social and economic equity and a healthy environment in Greater Cincinnati.
