CINCINNATI - The 24th Annual MidWest Black Family Reunion returns to Yeatman's Cove this weekend.

The theme for this year's event is "Bringing Families Together" and the weekend kicks off Friday morning at 8 a.m. with a breakfast. That is where you can hear from Rev. Dr. Otis Moss Jr. from Cleveland.

Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. there is also a job fair at the Sharonville Convention Center.  That is where you can expect a face to face interview with business representatives.  Area businesses are looking to fill positions in marketing, finance, restaurant management, computer science and a variety of other careers.

Saturday there is a parade that kicks off at the Avondale Town Center at 10 a.m. followed by an afternoon of events at Yeatman's Cove.  A concert in the evening is being headlined by the group Mint Condition.
