The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday winner.
The University of Cincinnati Athletic Department developed a way for businesses and campus offices around the country to join in on the fun and show their pride for the University. Bearcats Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year.
This week's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER IS VILLAGE PHARMACY in Harrison, Ohio! The BEARCAT mascot visited Village Pharmacy today to deliver UC items to employees wearing red and black.
"I'm very excited about being a part of Bearcat Friday. I've been a basketball season ticket holder for 28 years and a football season ticket holder for 20 years. It is a big thrill to be involved with everything going on right now with UC athletics. It's a great time to be a Bearcat!" said Jeff Biddle, proud owner of Village Pharmacy.
Village Pharmacy is located in Harrison, Ohio's Historic Downtown. It is one of the oldest businesses in the community having been founded over 130 years ago. An early owner, Jerome Marvin, was a great-grandfather to former First Lady Barbara Bush making him a great-great grandfather to former President George W. Bush. For the last 20 years, Village Pharmacy has been owned by Jeff Biddle, a 1980 graduate of UC's College of Pharmacy. As an independent, locally owned business, its missions have been to serve the health care needs of the Harrison area and support activities making the Harrison area a better place to live.
