It’s the last weekday of the month and that means Local Tourist with myself and Dara. Did you do anything fun and local this month? Link up with us below!
Local Tourist June 2019: Cincinnati Pride, Independent Bookstores, and More #ontheblog #localtourist Click To TweetLocal Tourist: June 2019
Saturday, June 1: I attended Rob Lowe: Stories I Only Tell My Friends with my dad. I still need to do a post on this, so that should be coming next month. I’m a bit behind on reviews of events I’ve been to! At any rate, this was a ton of fun. It was great hearing stories directly from Rob Lowe – he’s quite funny!
Sunday, June 2: The final day of Bunbury, which I’m still re-capping on the blog. You can read about Poppy and Fall Out Boy right now though!
Thursday, June 6: My mom and I went to an ice cream place called Buzzed Bull Creamery. The name is because you can add alcohol, but we didn’t. We just got ice cream. It’s a really cool place and the ice cream is amazing!

Saturday, June 8: I attended the 40th Anniversary Ice Cream social at a local bookstore with my sister. I even won the Snack Basket (they had different baskets as raffle items).
Saturday, June 22: I went to the Cincinnati Pride Festival with my sister and met up with/ran into a few friends. We went later in the day because we wanted to see the final act, which was Todrick Hall. He was a lot of fun and it was great seeing him perform live.
That’s it for me this month. As I said above, I’m a bit behind on events I attended in the last couple of months so my plan is to have those published sometime in July. And seriously, how is it July on Monday?
What a lovely June you had! Hearing stories from Rob Lowe must have been so interesting.
That ice-cream place sounds amazing and congrats on winning a snack basket!
I’ve visited an ice cream place in my area before and loved it. Local stores make it so much better than what we can buy at the grocery store! I look forward to hearing more about the other events when you recap them on the blog. I’m not familiar with them 🙂
I love that Bunbury is a thing! #OscarWilde4Eva
Ooh you had a fun month! I bet Rob Lowe was a ton of fun to hear speak! I love him! And ice cream is always a win in my book!
Oooh ice cream, Rob Lowe and a bookstore! Sounds like you had a great month of activity! 🙂
I think there’s a place you can get ice cream with alcohol here too. Sounds like a fun month!
Pride sounds so fun in Cincinnati! It was the first one in a long time, right? The ice cream shop sounds so yummy! And so does Rob Lowe 😉 Haha!
I bet the Rob Lowe event was a lot of fun. He always seems like he’s able to poke fun at himself. 🙂
Oh these all sound fun!
I got this little flyer/booklet thing from a local bookstore and it’s the Midwest Indie Bookstore Roadmap. It was kind of useless but had a website (midwestbooksellers.org) so I’ve been going through that to see if we’ll be near any bookstores on our road trip in August. I’m trying to convince Matt at least one stop is warranted.
What? Ice cream and alcohol? Interesting combo. We are going to an ice cream social thing downtown on Sunday. Maybe I will write it up as a local tourist adventure. We have done so well on our Weight Watchers but allow ourselves treats now and then which usually equates to Mexican food and ice cream!!
El Paso’s Pride parade was a pretty big deal this year. Lots of folks, one of my friends said. And they gave away some super cute rainbow tees.
Now that’s what I call a month! Right now, I’m going to have a shot of tequila in honor of your alcohol-less ice cream. And Rob Lowe. (I’d say Buzzed Bull might be my spirit animal, but clearly I’m the raccoon who found his way into the back of a bakery instead.)
ooh I want to hear more about the Rob Lowe event!! I’ve heard his book is so good!
I love these so much!!
This is such a fun post! I’d love to go to an ice cream social! Any place with ice cream is somewhere I want to be. XD
Sounds like you have a good Pride weekend up there. My local town’s Pride was earlier this month and it was the same weekend I was tied up with family, so I wasn’t able to go. I’m glad you had a good time!
Busy month! I am all for as much ice cream as you can feed me. So yummy!
You had a busy month! I wanna go to that buzzed ice cream place! Happy Pride and so glad you had a lot of fun!
Sounds like you had a fun month and I have to admit I’m super curious about ice cream with alcohol added to it, lol.
Sounds like June kept you quite busy. I hope July brings you more fun. Now about this ice cream….
I think I’ going to do this feature on my blog soon. We have a lot of fun events around here during the summer. This whole week we’re having events at the local park for the 4th.
Your June looked fabulous and fun!

Sounds like you had a fantastic month! I wish I would have made it out to our local Pride festival. Glad you enjoyed the concert!
My June was pretty much all about teaching summer school and moving to my new house. So I get being behind! Sounds like a fun thing at the ice cream social! Now I’m hungry for ice cream though.
The Buzzed Bull Creamery sounds fun!
