City celebrates Tall Stacks

Cincinnati earned the right to host the 2003 Tall Stacks Music, Arts & Heritage Festival. That cannot be denied. It is as sure and secure as a docking steamboat tethering its python-thick line to an iron ring embedded in the Public Landing's cobblestones.

Tips from Enquirer photographers

Sawyertown fun for kids
Tall Stacks activities for children include hands-on projects, such as making quilts or boats and participating in old-fashioned games such as sack races and tug-of-war.
