If you’ve ever sledded in College Hill, you’ll want this Christmas card

Every year, local painter Hugh Greer (whom the Eagle profiled in September) produces a Christmastime scene for the Independent Living Resource Center’s Christmas card.

This year, the scene features sledders in College Hill, with Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church prominently shown in the background.

You can buy Christmas cards with the painting on them, or you can also buy a 20-by-16-inch lithograph of the scene to hang on your wall.

All proceeds go to benefit the Independent Living Resource Center, a local nonprofit that provides support and services to people with disabilities.

You can order cards or the lithograph (along with Greer’s scenes from previous years) by visiting www.ilrcks.org/store/christmas-cards-archive.
