What You Need To Know About Dayton Greek Fest
The Dayton Greek Festival started as a small church picnic in 1958 but grew as parishoners of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church began inviting friends and neighbors to join them to celebrate their culture. Always celebrated the weekend after Labor Day.
Hours this year are:
Friday September 9 (11am-10pm)
Saturday September 10 (11am-10pm )
Sunday September 11 (12pm-4pm)
While our Dayton Orthodox community was founded and built by early Greek Immigrants, the majority of parish today were born in Americas and includes numerous ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Opa! An expression of joy and enthusiasm. Greeks shout Opa to celebrate music and dancing! And this festival will have lots of that. And plenty of food:
The Masonic Temple (across from the church) except Saturday from 11-2; this will be $10
Grandview Hospital Shuttle; parking will be at the Hospital’s Shaw Center at No Charge
Orthodox Church
500 Belmont Park North , Dayton
Today is Protect Your Groundwater Day
The drinking water for nearly everyone in southwest Ohio comes from water under the ground that is stored in the aquifer. We need our water to be safe and clean for drinking. Throughout the Miami Valley, many communities have source water protection areas where special care is given to land uses that minimize the risk of groundwater contamination.
We all do things around the house that can affect our water. So let’s keep it clean Miami Valley! Every year, we ask our communities to promote and protect their groundwater supply and this year we are urging you to focus these efforts in your own backyard.
Ask yourself, where does my water come from? When was the last time I tested my water? What actions have I taken to ensure my family’s water is safe and protected from contaminants? More than 43 million people—about 15 percent of the U.S. population—rely on domestic water wells as their source of drinking water and experts recommend having these systems inspected every year.
Protect Your Groundwater Day serves as an annual reminder that we can all take steps to protect our water!
Water Wise Tips
Report spills.
Report spills, abandoned drums and other environmental emergencies 24 hours a day at 1-800-282-9378.
Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly.
Pesticides and fertilizers can run off your lawn and enter rivers, lakes and streams. Their harmful chemicals can kill aquatic life and affect drinking water.
Dispose of household cleaners, paint and chemicals safely.
Many cleaning products in homes and garages are too dangerous to be thrown in the trash or poured down the drain. Anything marked “Poison” or “Danger” should be taken to your local hazardous waste center.
Take care when changing your car’s motor oil. Dispose of the oil safely.
One quart of motor oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of river water, so use a large pan if you are changing motor oil yourself. Never pour leftover oil down storm drains or into the trash. Drop it off at your local hazardous waste center.
Fix car leaks promptly.
Leaky cars can leave drips or puddles of motor oil and other fluids on your streets and driveways. When it rains, those fluids run through the storm drains and into your rivers. Fix car leaks and clean stains off of your driveway.
Pick up after your pet.
When it rains, bacteria from pet waste left in the yard can run into storm drains, polluting rivers and streams. Pick up after your pet at home and on walks.
Dispose of unwanted medication safely – don’t flush it.
Small amounts of prescription drugs can find their way to your rivers and streams if they are flushed down the toilet or sink. Take unwanted prescription drugs to local drop-off sites.
Be water smart – test your well.
If your water comes from a private well, it’s important to have it tested every year for potential problems, including nitrates, E. coli, and arsenic.
Enjoy your waterways – kayaking, canoeing and fishing.
The Dayton Region features the largest state-designated water trail system in Ohio with 265 miles along the Great Miami, Mad, and Stillwater rivers. Get out and enjoy all they have to offer.
Get involved!
No matter where you live, work, or play, the land drains to a river and sometimes to the aquifer. Join a community group in your area that works to protect our water.

(23) the play’s narrator. Affable, witty and quick with a joke, Eugene is trying to break into comedy writing with his older brother Stanley. Although he seems care-free, he cares deeply for his family, and through the course of this play, begins to see his parents as actual people with their own stories and heartbreaks.
28) Eugene’s older brother. Driven and high-strung, Stanley is the force behind the brothers’ quest to get into show business. Although he bickers constantly with Eugene as they write, he also demonstrates his devotion to his brother and the rest of the family.
(early 50s) Eugene and Stanley’s mother, Jack’s wife. Strong and hardworking, Kate does everything in her power to put up a happy front and keep her family together and well-fed, even as she is undergoing the pain of her 30-plus year marriage crumbling in front of her.
(mid to late-50s) Eugene and Stanley’s father, Kate’s husband. Having spent years working in the same job and living in the same neighborhood, he has become tired of the monotony of life…and of marriage.
(late 70s) Kate’s father. Ben lives with his daughter Kate and her family, while his semi- estranged wife of many years lives with Blanche, another daughter. Ben is an old socialist who doesn’t understand his grandsons’ “comedy.” If it isn’t educating people or making the world a more equitable place, what’s the point? While not an affectionate man, he is there for Kate in his own way.

Celebrate National Cinema Day with $3 Movies
On National Cinema Day, which this year falls on Saturday, September 3rd, movie tickets will be just $3 in the vast majority of American theaters as part of a newly launched promotion to lure moviegoers back to the theaters. Labor Day weekend is traditionally one of the slowest weekends in theaters.
The Cinema Foundation, a nonprofit arm of the National Association of Theater Owners, announced the nationwide discount day in more than 3,000 theaters and on more than 30,000 screens. Major chains, including AMC, Cinemark and Regal Cinemas, are participating, as are all major film studios. In participating theaters, tickets will be no more than $3 for every showing, in every format.
“After this summer’s record-breaking return to cinemas, we wanted to do something to celebrate moviegoing,” said Jackie Brenneman, Cinema Foundation president, in a statement. “We’re doing it by offering a ‘thank you’ to the moviegoers that made this summer happen, and by offering an extra enticement for those who haven’t made it back yet.”
After more than two years of pandemic, movie theaters rebounded significantly over the summer, seeing business return to nearly pre-pandemic levels. Films like “Top Gun: Maverick,””Minions: Rise of Gru,“”Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Jurassic World Dominion” pushed the domestic summer box office to $3.3 billion in ticket sales as of Aug. 21, according to data firm Comscore. That trails 2019 totals by about 20% but exhibitors have had about 30% fewer wide releases this year.
Cinemark/Rave Theatres are taking the $3 price point even further, offering the following concession specials:
Organizers of National Cinema Day described the event as a trial that could become an annual fixture. While some other countries have experimented with a similar day of cheap movie tickets, the initiative is the first of its kind on such a large scale in the U.S.

Little Fish Brewing Opens Their Doors Friday Night
Co-owners Jimmy Stockwell and Sean Whiteopened Little Fish Brewing Company in the summer of 2015 in Athens, Ohio. Their mission was to brew world class beer while sustainably supporting local economies. They designed several of the original core beer recipes utilizing the Ohio-grown ingredients available at the time. These included organic raw spelt and corn grits in the flagship Saison du Poisson and Shagbark Pilsner brews, as well as many specialty ingredients like locally grown fruits and herbs.
When looking to grow their operations, Dayton had always been receptive to their beers so it seemed like a natural. They look to bring the same philosophy to their downtown Dayton location. Executive Chef Becky Clark says, “that they aim to make their food as good as their beer and their beer is amazing.”She also shares that we can expect lots of beer dinners in the future.
