🌱 Cincinnati Zoo Welcomes Orphaned Manatees + Pizza Week Is Here

Hi all. I'm back with your new copy of the Cincinnati Daily. Here are all the things you need to know about what's happening these days in town.

But first, today's weather:

Sunshine. High: 66 Low: 38.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Cincinnati who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Cincinnati Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Cincinnati today:

1. On Sunday, the Cincinnati Zoo welcomed three orphaned manatees. The manatees — Calliope, Piccolina, and Soleil — were in critical care at ZooTampa at Lowry Park in Florida and are well enough to start the second-stage rehab care in Cincinnati, according to the zoo. The Zoo has cared for more than 2,000 manatees since joining the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership in 1999. Those looking to meet the manatees can see them this week. (FOX19)
2. Cincinnati Pizza Week is returning today, Nov. 7. During the event, residents can take advantage of nine-dollar specials at dozens of restaurants all week throughout the Tri-State and enter to win a grand prize of $300 in gift cards. The event continues through Sunday, Nov. 13. For more information and a list of participating restaurants, click here. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
3. On Saturday, Cincinnati's 45-foot Christmas tree arrived downtown. The concolor fir will be the centerpiece of the city’s holiday celebrations this year, topped with a new five-foot, 40-pound star. Ironworks Artist Jordan Graff and his team at Iron Belle Metal took about four weeks to craft the LED-lighted glass and steel tree topper. (WLWT Cincinnati)
