Happy 45th Anniversary, FRCH!

Celebrating the past and looking forward to the future is something that runs deep in the cultural fabric here at FRCH.  This month we celebrated our 45^th Anniversary with a beautiful event at the 21C Museum Hotel in downtown Cincinnati – recently named the #1 hotel in the United States by the  prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.  The evening included great big band entertainment by Jack Garrett and the Syndicate and an extremely special cake prepared by our very own cake artist phenom, Adrianne Korczynski and cAKes Designed To Taste.

45th Anniversary: 1968 Revisited

This year FRCH celebrates its 45th anniversary. If you put those years in reverse you could watch how this company has evolved through ownership, name changes and office spaces. You would see the breadth of its creative power and you would see how this company helped shape the careers of hundreds of employees. And then you would arrive in the year 1968. Though most of us have a general sense of history, and can assemble in our minds an approximate timeline of major historical events, I would think it hard to name specific dates . . . even years. And the question is, who would really care? What good does it to recall our history? Better yet, what is so important about honoring certain dates, in this case, an Anniversary? If we can use the birth of FRCH as a microcosm, the answer may lie in understanding context.
