The Clifton Fest completed its third annual gathering this past weekend in Clifton on Ludlow Ave. Vendors displayed their products, artists covered sidewalks with drawings, and musicians performed throughout each day’s festivities.

To kick off Friday evening, Ludlow Wine sponsored wine tastings that were accompanied by jazz music performed by the Wade Baker Collective. Later, Om Eco Café held the Artist’s Reception which featured Scott Donaldson, the creator of the mural “Table” on the corner of 7th and Vine St. in Cincinnati.

Saturday morning began with Tracy Walker’s folk music followed by a routine from Pones Inc, a group that uses elaborate movements to express their ideas and opinions. The night ended with a Zumba class dancing through Ludlow Ave.

On Sunday It’s Yoga hosted a class on Clifton Plaza for any and all participants. Runners in a 5k race could be seen running through Burnet Woods. In the afternoon, a pet parade sponsored by Howell Avenue Pet Hospital and Care Center took place in the Annunciation Church parking lot.

Clare Zlatic Blankemeyer sold handmade engraved glass cutting boards that she distributes through Etsy. Her established business is called One Crafty Bear and she creates all of her products herself. “It takes me about three hours to make each one and I will ship anywhere in the country,” Blankemeyer said. She said the majority of the displayed boards were designed for customers who had already purchased them through Etsy.
