Extras

Window shoppers are in for a treat this weekend. "Try It On for the Cure" is a fundraising program in which Coldwater Creek will donate $1 to the Greater Cincinnati affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure for every shopper who tries on clothes in the fitting room. No purchase is necessary, however, the company will donate 10 percent of event sales to Komen.

The program will take place Sunday at Coldwater Creek's 5585 Deerfield Blvd. store in Deerfield Towne Center. For more information, call (513) 770-0140.
