Cover Story

BLINK® to transform Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky

D

owntown Cincinnati is a beautiful place; from walking on the riverfront parks and crossing the Purple People Bridge over the Ohio River…. to the beautiful architecture by Overthe-Rhine and Findlay Market.

From October 10th until the 13th, downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky will be transformed into a beautiful outdoor art museum.

Spanning more than 30 city blocks, BLINK is one of the nation’s largest light, art, and projection mapping events, and is completely free to the public.

Featuring light-based sculptures and installations, brand-new art murals, and interactive art, BLINK is illuminated by ArtsWave. ArtsWave is a local organization that supports hundreds of art projects and organizations through impact-based grants.

For four days, from 7 until 11 P.M., downtown Cincinnati will transform into a one-of-a- kind place in the world. As BLINK is the only outdoor art event of its kind, during these four days, Cincinnati will attract people from all over the world that want to come and witness the magic, and enjoy the shared inspiration

and awe that BLINK brings.

BLINK started only two years ago in 2017, when two separate organizations, Brave Berlin and The AGAR presented idea concepts for an outdoor light festival to Tim Maloney of the Haile Foundation. Maloney combined these concepts, and BLINK was born.

Rich Walburg, spokesperson for BLINK, describes the unique opportunity BLINK brings for the city of Cincinnati, “Cincinnati is a creative, inclusive and innovative future city. BLINK is a monumental event that showcases all that our region has to offer.

Because it’s free and open to the public, people from around our region, the nation and the globe will come together in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to enjoy a shared moment of art and light.”

BLINK is produced by The AGAR, ArtWorks, Brave Berlin, the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Foundation, Jr/U.S. Bank Foundation and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber. For more information, maps, and many other resources, visit BLINK’S website, BlinkCincinnati.com.

Del Gardo’s Cannoli....

Taste a New Tradition in Covington!

D

el Gardo’s Cannoli has been in the making for over 30 years for owner Steve Del Gardo. It started while Steve was a Chef’s Apprentice at 18 years old in Columbus, Ohio.

Steve had a dream....and in 2018 it became a reality. He wanted to open an Italian café but be different than anyone else. He explored a coffee bar concept to a full eat in café but his main focus was his special recipes for cannoli. Steve has an art/design background and wanted to use those skills in creating wonderful looking artisan cannoli as well as being very tasty to one’s palette.

After 12 months exploring and research on how to get his cannoli to the masses, Steve is living his dream.

Del Gardo’s Cannoli Bar offers Italian Fine Wines and Premium Craft Beers.

WHEN YOU GO...

Hours: Fridays and Saturdays 6 pm - 11 pm Thursdays 6 pm - 10 pm Please check out their Facebook Page (delgardoscannoli) for up to date hours of operation.

Bourbon and Bow Tie Bash

A

s a young woman living in Cincinnati, Ohio, Caroline Jones is not just surviving with type 1 diabetes (T1D), but she is living a full and happy life. Having recently gotten married and starting a new position at UC Health, Caroline lives life to the fullest. She faced a huge challenge, however, when she was first diagnosed with T1D three years ago at the age of twenty-five.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, meaning it can surface at any age and is not brought on or affected by diet or lifestyle choices. While T1D is commonly thought of as a child’s disease, over half of new diagnoses occur in the adult population.

Caroline is committed to helping her community as a volunteer at a local nonprofit, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF is dedicated to the mission to cure, treat, and prevent T1D. To raise money for diabetes research, JDRF each year hosts the hottest party in Cincinnati, the Bourbon and Bow Tie Bash. Caroline has been involved in this event since the beginning; “People love

this event because it has something for everyone. From the food and bourbon tastings, to the silent auction, even to the entertainment, this is just a really fun evening.” Caroline is also passionate about helping plan this event because it raises money to help her live a better life. Because of advancements made possible due to JDRF funding, Caroline benefits from exciting new technology, including the artificial pancreas device.

Caroline will share her story at this year’s Bourbon and Bow Tie Bash on October 19 at the Duke Energy Convention Center. For more information, please visit www.jdrfbourbon.org.

TruSculpt 3D See the Results!

TruSculpt 3D is an innovative RF (Radio Frequency) device that gives the skin deep heat. This causes the fat cells to die, thus creating a non-invasive fat reduction, body sculpting/contouring treatment. The process can temporally reduce the appearance of cellulite. It is designed to treat almost any area of the body. Typical areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, arms and other stubborn regions where fat lingers. TruSculpt 3D is comfortable and requires no anesthetic. It is virtually pain free.

Most patients describe the treatment as a hot stone massage and others report almost no sensation of heat at all.

During a typical treatment, a small hand piece releases radiofrequency energy. This is placed over the targeted area and a small surrounding area.

The energy causes fat cells to heat up and programs them to liquefy and be removed through the lymphatics after dying. The energy released from the heat from the TruSculpt 3D also causes skin contraction for a slimming and smoothing effect on the skin. There is no downtime with this treatment, allowing immediate return to normal activity. Patients see significant improvement approximately 8 weeks following one TruSculpt 3D treatment and full results up to 3 months after. Additional sessions may be required to obtain desired results if more than usual results are expected.

Now offering TruSculpt 3D. Non-invasive fat reduction. *GUARANTEED results.
