Kickball either
conjures memories of intense schoolyard fun or ultimate gym class
embarrassment. If you prefer the former, you’ll be happy to know Cincinnati
Sports Kickball League
is taking the game out of the playground and onto Washington Park’s Civic Lawn!
Co-ed adult teams will compete each Wednesday, 6-9 p.m. through Sept. 19. If you
haven’t signed up with a team or you’re more of a cheerleader, watch the fun
from one of many surrounding benches. Or mosey over to the bandstand to check
out free Wednesday Bluegrass concerts. The Tillers perform tonight at 7 p.m.
If you’re still
upset you couldn’t make it to San Diego’s epic Comic-Con this year, share your
woes with other local lovers of SciFi, fantasy TV shows and literature, comics
and more at Cincinnati Geek Club. The informal group meets at Roxx Electrocafe from 6-9 p.m. every third
Wednesday of the month. All nerds welcome! Find more geeky-chic events and
meetups from Pandora Promotions here.
The Warren County
Fair
kicked off Tuesday in Lebanon, and tonight’s activities include a garden
tractor pull at 6 p.m. Get your fill of
corn dogs and funnel cakes, Ferris wheels and farm animals through Saturday, 8
a.m.-11 p.m. daily. Tickets are $8 (kids 12 and younger get free admission).
Yehaw!
The Newport Secret
Six perform on Fountain Square as part of Reggae Wednesdays. Grab a snack or an
icy beverage and relax to some island jams from 7-10 p.m. The free, weekly
concert continues every Wednesday through Aug. 29.
The World Choir
Games have come to an end, but Cincinnati continues to welcome talented artists
from around the globe with this week’s World Piano Competition. More than 200
pianists compete through Saturday to be named champion musicians. Tonight’s quarterfinals
