3 Ghost Dinners Scheduled for Amber Rose
October will be creeping up before you know it, and part of the Miami Valley’s haunted past is the AMBER ROSE RESTAURANT! Each fall Dayton’s ghost enthusiasts get an opportunity to experience a paranormal presentation, along with a 4 course dinner from Amber Rose on Valley Street in Old North Dayton.
The “ParaSense” Investigative Team will share stories, photos, recordings, and even some video they have captured during nights they have spent at Amber Rose.
The daughter of the original owner of the building is said to haunt the main level and upstairs of Amber Rose. Her name is Genevieve Ksiezopolski, and is also known as “Chickie.” One of the restaurant cooks claimed to have seen the ghostly spirit of Genevieve aka “Chickie” while cooking one night. He says the full apparition was in front of him, in a ruffled dress. She walked into,then out of the room. Now comes the unexplainable part…. There are security cameras throughout the restaurant including the kitchen. When the management heard the cook’s story, they decided to pull up the surveillance tape. What they saw was a small, bright, white orb enter, circle and leave the room at the same exact time the cook said he saw the ghost.
This year the Amber Rose will host 3 night of dinners, each with a different menu. Guests are asked to book their entire party together and they will be set up at one table for groups of four, six or eight.

Bob Dylan’s Whiskey Hits Ohio Shelves!
The Heaven’s Door range of whiskey have been created by Bob Dylan (yes, actual Bob Dylan, the legendary songwriter) and Marc Bushala (founder of Angel’s Envy Bourbon), made in a church in Tennessee. This expression is made with a mash bill featuring 30% “small grains”, and the spirit is allowed to age for at least 8 years in American oak barrels. The bottle features a design from Dylan’s own wrought ironwork, and the name is of course a reference to his song ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’.
Heaven’s Door is a whole new canvas, with each bottle showcasing Dylan’s art. The brand is privileged to share the treasure trove of Bob Dylan’s artistic genius with works exclusive to the Heaven’s Door brand.
Ohio Liquor is releasing an exclusive, single barrel selection of Heaven’s Door. The product will begin hitting shelves on September 21st at a price of $52.39 plus tax and will be available until it has sold out.
These three barrels were selected by the distiller and OHLQ exclusively for Ohio, and are not available outside of our state. Single-barrel selections are not blended, and therefore retain the unique flavors, characteristics, and finish of the barrel in which they were aged. No two single-barrel selections are ever the same!
Ghostlight Coffee Celebrate’s Annual Lumberjack Fest!
Every year (except for that one year that we can all probably agree to forget about) since 2017, the team at Ghostlight Coffee sets aside a full day to celebrate the onset of fall with featured espresso drinks, bakery goods, local fare and more. The Lumberjack Festival has grown in size and popularity over the years, much like the legend of Lumberjack Joe himself, with the 2021 festival set to be the biggest to date.
Ghostlight will host nine local vendors such as Joe’s Modern Garage, Reduce Reise Refillery, and Deeper Roots Coffee at it’s South Park location on Saturday, September 25 between 9am-2pm. Lumberjack-goers can enjoy featured drinks, including the signature Lumberjack Latte (a warm, sweet, slightly smoky concoction with maple, cinnamon and smoked sea salt), bakery items, games, giveaways and more.
Guests are encouraged, and may even be rewarded, for attending in their best tree-trimming garb (though we do ask that you leave your axes and oxes at home). Instead of a vendor or booth fee, Ghostlight Coffee is encouraging all vendors to make a donation to The Rubi Girls. Additional details, such as a bakery menu and games, will be shared in the weeks leading up to the event.
