Blogkeeping: Congratulations, entry 6 – Melanie, for winning the Rachael Ray Week in a Day giveaway. Please respond to my email by 5pm ET on Wednesday (12/11). It’s time for one of my favorite blog posts of the year — my wrap-up of holiday arts and entertainment coming to Cleveland.…
A bit of blogkeeping: You have until 11:59pm on Thursday, 10/4 to enter my giveaway for two tickets to the CCFA Movie Gala at the Capitol Theatre. Also, check out WhyCLE’s giveaway for a second chance to win. Good luck! When you think of classical or traditional art, it can be easy to think stuffy and boring. […]
