Cincy Democrats partying here for inauguration

Michael Keating

While Democrats in Washington are attending the inaugural balls on January 21, Cincinnati area Democrats will be holding their own celebration of President Obama's inauguration at a downtown bar.

Cincy's on Sixth, at the corner of East Sixth and Walnut streets, will be the scene of a $20-a-head "Partiers for Obama" inauguration party, beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday, January 21 - seven hours after President Obama is sworn in for a second term on the west steps of the U.S. Capitol.

$20 gets you in the door for a "light meal" and a cash bar, but "larger donations will be gratefully accepted,'' according to an announcement on the website of the Hamilton County Democratic Party, which is sponsoring the event.

RSVPs and checks can be mailed to the county party's headquarters at 6109 Webbland Place, Cincinnati 45213.

According to the invitation, revelers are asked to "wear blue - dress-up or dress-down."
