Benefit to Rebuild Rabbit Hash General Store

This whole house event, at the beautiful Southgate House Revival, put together by local musician and Rabbit Hash lover, Kelly Thomas (Wilder - and the first lady of Cincinnati Music), to bring the local music community together to help raise funds to rebuild the General Store in Rabbit Hash that was destroyed by fire on February 13, 2016. The store had been in continual operation since 1831, according to the Rabbit Hash Historical Society - a span in which 38 U.S. presidents took office. The store at 10021 Lower River Road was on the National Register of Historic Places. Not only was it a historical landmark, it served as a much loved performance space for many area musicians, for the past fifteen years.

The event will include performances by over 30 acts, a silent auction, and open mic, on Sunday. All proceeds to benefit The Rabbit Hash Historical Society and Terrie Markesbery, the store’s proprietor, for the rebuilding of The General Store.

$15 suggested donation per day or $20 for a weekend pass.  All ages event.
