Village Family Restaurant Celebrates 45th Anniversary

May 8, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Village Family Restaurant, a beloved cornerstone of downtown Waynesville, is proud to celebrate its 45th anniversary this month — marking over four decades of hearty meals, warm coffee, and cherished community connection.

Founded in 1980, the restaurant has served generations of families, travelers, and locals with its signature comfort food, friendly service, and classic small-town atmosphere. From early morning breakfasts to bustling Sunday lunches, the Village Family Restaurant has remained a reliable, welcoming spot where “everyone knows your name — and your order.”

“This anniversary is incredibly meaningful to us,” said Lacie Sims, current owner of the restaurant. “For 45 years, this place has been more than just a business — it’s been a gathering place, a family, and a part of the fabric of Waynesville. We’ve seen kids grow up, couples get engaged in our booths, and locals who’ve come in every day for decades.”

As the restaurant celebrates this major milestone, the ownership is also announcing plans to pass the torch to a new generation. The business is officially for sale, opening the door for someone with a passion for community, tradition, and food service to step in and carry on the legacy.

“This isn’t a goodbye — it’s the beginning of a new chapter,” said Lacie Sims. “We’re looking for the right buyer who values what this place means to Waynesville and sees the potential for even more great years ahead.” sees the potential for even more great years ahead.”

Yuletide Village – Season of Lights Adds Charitable Components

November 24, 2022 By Dayton937

You are invited into a world filled with lights, music, cheer, and memories to cherish. Santa has set up a workshop in the village and is ready to hear your holiday wishes!

This year, Yuletide Village – Season of Lights becomes Yuletide Village – Season of Giving. Organizers of the holiday event decided to support two local charities after seeing the need in the community. There are a handful of ways that you can help Yuletide Village support these local charities while enjoying the magic of the village all aglow. 

The first charity is the Found by Faith Food Pantry. This organization has been serving the Harveysburg community for over a year, helping provide food to those in need. They delivered over 5,500 pounds of food to the elderly and low-income families in the area during an October pantry day. 

The second charity is the Massie Township Fire Department. The department consists of an all volunteer staff of around 24 people, two-thirds of which commute from other counties. The department covers 22 1/3 square miles including Caesar’s Creek State Park, I-71, and State Route 73. All donations will go towards the department’s operating budget so they can continue to keep the township safe. 

Photos with Krampus. If you’re on the naughty list, you probably already know who this is. Krampus is a mythical fixture in several European countries this time of year. As part of the myth, Krampus has one night that he will take the children who are on the naughty list – Krampus Nacht – typically a few weeks before traditional Christmas Eve when the big man in a red suit comes. This year, Krampus will be seated on this throne in the Aleing Knight Pub in two shifts, 5:30 – 6:30pm and 7pm – 8pm. You can purchase a photo with Krampus and proceeds go towards the Found by Faith Food Pantry in Harveysburg. Remember, Krampus doesn’t speak – just one of his tall, dark, and mysterious qualities.  

Gift Wrapping Station. From bespoke jewelry to classic wooden toys, you’ll find something for everyone on your list at our Yuletide Market’s unique booths and shops. You can then head on over to the Yule Market tent for the Massie Township Fire Department gift wrapping station. A small donation is all it takes to keep those presents a secret. Boxes, bags, wrapping paper selections, ribbons and bows done up with festive cheer.  

Donations. Both organizations accept cash donations to the following addresses. 

Massie Township Fire Department Found by Faith Food Pantry

PO Box 91 73 South Street

Harveysburg, OH 45032 Harveysburg, OH 45032

You can also choose to add a few dollars onto your Yuletide Village ticket purchase (online only) to go to the Massie Township Fire Department. Tickets can be purchased at www.yuletidevillage.com. 

Ugly Christmas Sweater. Who doesn’t already have a handful of ugly, gawdy Christmas sweaters in their closet and couldn’t use at least one more because ‘this one’ is the ugliest? We’ve got you covered! The Yuletide Village design might not be the ugliest you’ve seen, but we guarantee you it’s going to be the talk of the holiday gathering. Start your collection this year and get a new one each Yuletide Village! Proceeds from sales of the ugly Christmas sweaters at the souvenir booth will be donated to the Found by Faith Food Pantry.  

Explore the outdoor marketplace, listen to live music, get your picture taken with Woodland Santa, and enjoy the Winter Magic light display. Located at Renaissance Park in Warren County, home of the Ohio Renaissance Festival. For tickets and more information visit www.yuletidevillage.com.

Local Arby’s Icon Retires After 44 Years

April 2, 2019 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

The manager at the Arby’s in Moraine is retiring after 44 years

For years we have heard him say things like “Two Arby’s beef and cheddars please..”  The lovable manager of the Arby’s in Moraine, Richard Parriman, retired this week after 44 years of serving customers.  This friendly face is unforgettable and his soft, kind personality is a part of his great work ethic and longevity.  Congratulations Richard, on a job well done!

Food Adventures is proud to bring you this “feel good” article and share the story of the incredible career of Richard.

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY on RICHARD PARRIMAN:

— Richard grew up in Springboro with an interest in History and Antiques.

— He went to the University of Kentucky and graduated in secondary education specializing in history and government.  As fate would have it, he took a job after school at Arby’s.  It gave him the freedom to work at an antique store too, and he never looked back.

— Richard’s first day of work was March 4, 1975 at an Arby’s that is no longer there.  He started at an Arby’s on 48 in Centerville near Whipp Rd., in what was then, Cassano’s Plaza (now Swiss Village).  That building was a Sandy’s Hamburgers, and after Arby’s it became a Trophy Nut store.

Richard served approx 1.7 million customers in 44 years

— Richard then went to work at the Arby’s that was inside the Elder Beerman near the Dayton Mall on 725 where Target is today.  He worked there from 1978 until 1998.  He remembers an Arby’s beef and cheddar sandwich was 89 cents.  Today they are $3.79.

— It was during this time in 1987 that Richard and his wife started an antique store in Waynesville called Village Antiques.  Today it is located at 185 High St. Box 204 in Waynesville.  Open noon-5pm, Tuesday through Sunday, they are closed on Monday.Please call them at 513-897-2421.  They have general antiques and specialize in Cherry and Walnut furniture and country accessory antiques.

— During his time at Arby’s, Richard averaged 50 hours, 5 days a week and about 150 customers a day.  That means over 44 years he served approximately 1, 716,000 people.  Yes that’s right, over 1.7 million people !!!

— Looking back he has seen Arby’s evolve and loved his time working for GZK franchise.  He had 5 employees that worked with him for over 25 years.  That is a testament to his leadership and unheard of in the industry.  He will miss his co-workers tremendously.  He also has a lot of regular customers he will miss that have become friends over the years.  He says the one thing people should know about Arby’s is they really do what it takes to serve high quality meats.

— During retirement he plans to relax a little, but will be busy with the antique store and spending time with his wife, his daughter and his two grandchildren.  You can see by the sparkle in his eye that he really enjoys his family time.

Thank you Richard for making every Arby’s customer feel like family too.

 

Two Arby’s Beef n Cheddars please

RICHARD’s MUST EATS at ARBYS:

— HAM & CHEESE SLIDER SANDWICH
Having eaten everything on the menu for so long, he has been on a Ham kick for a while.  He preferred a small ham sandwich when he would get breaks during the workday.

 

What other local restaurants are Richard’s favorites?

Being in the restaurant industry, Richard doesn’t eat out all that often.  But when he does, he likes 3 places in Waynesville.

RICHARDS FAVORITE LOCAL RESTAURANTS:

— THE VILLAGE RESTAURANT:
Located at 144 S Main St. in Waynesville, they serve breakfast, lunch and  dinner.  Offerings include family style from salads to comfort Southern food.

 

— THE COBBLESTONE CAFE:
A quaint little place, part restaurant, part country store.  A great brunch menu, and the staff is friendly.

 

— STONE HOUSE TAVERN:

Arbys has 2 fish sandwiches for $5 during Lent.


Fun atmosphere, and good pub food at 258 S Main St, Waynesville.  We have had many Food Adventures there!

Well folks, that does it, the end of an era for a local Arby’s manager as he shifts focus to family and his antique store.  What an incredible accomplishment to put in 44 years in such a fast paced environment.  It is great to hear about unsung “local heroes” like this that lead by example.  Richard is a humble person and we thank him for letting us share his incredible story of longevity on our Food Adventures blog.

Richard will be missed by Arby’s regulars and customers in Moraine and throughout Dayton.  All good things must come to an end.  Thank you Richard for 44 years of great service !

Please check out Richard’s store,  Village Antiques on High Street in Waynesville if you get a chance and visit the Parriman family.  Unfortunately, you’re gonna have to bring your own Arby’s sandwiches …

Bellwether Music Festival busts out the best alternative rock!

August 6, 2018 By LIbby Ballengee

There is certainly no shortage of summer music festivals in the greater Miami Valley region, however many of them lean towards jam, folk, bluegrass, and country fans. For the many alternative and indie rock fans, there are far fewer festival options, especially ones with camping.

That’s the gap that Bellwether Music Festival is hoping to fill. Referred to as a “mini-Bonnaroo”- this two-day, two-stage alternative music festival features an impressive lineup of both national and local acts, along with one of the most unique festival grounds anywhere: The Renaissance Park in Waynesville! Last year, my friend mentioned how great it would be to have a music festival there, and low and behold, someone did it!

Not only did organizers nab a prime location, they are pulling in some major acts, including: MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Local Natives, Echo & The Bunnymen, Dr. Dog, The Psychedelic Furs, Whitney, AJ & The Woods, Allah-Las, Japanese Breakfast, Bob Schneider, Erika Wennerstrom (of Heartless Bastards), This Pine Box, Alex Lahey, Dawg Yawp, Speaking Suns, The Cordial Sins, Cherry Lee & The Hot Rod Hounds and Carriers. Full schedule is posted here. Plus there are After Parties in the campground, as well as morning yoga. For the best experience, download the Bellwether app on the App Store or Google Play for map, schedule and info.

These festival organizers are tuned into what festival audiences want, so they put the stages are across from one another and set times don’t overlap. YES! Nothing more frustrating than going to music festival, and you can’t see everyone on the lineup because they are playing at the same time. Organizers say you’ll have time to grab a beer or run to the restroom and catch every band. Plus they have people and performers coming from 45 states and 8 countries. What a great event to meet all kinds of people! Plus, this festival is already committed to year two and will offer special early-bird ticket prices to those who attend this year. They thought of everything!

New Camping Music Festival Coming to Waynesville

April 7, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

There’s a brand new new camping music festival set to take place on August 10th and 11th at the Ohio Renaissance Festival Grounds.   Topping the bill for the inaugural Bellwether Music Festival will be MGMT and The Flaming Lips.

Bellwether — a new camping music festival dreamed up in part by Bill Donabedian, whose resume includes co-founding Cincinnati’s MidPoint, Bunbury and BuckleUp music festivals.  As the festival’s description on their site notes, “Bellwether Music Festival is a two-day, two-stage alternative music festival with camping. Get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy some peace and quiet… Until the music starts. Join us August 10-11 for music by day and stars by night.”

Organizers are aiming for 10,000 to 15,000 people to kick off this first festival, drawing from  Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus. “The response has been just fantastic right out of the gate. Other than just great activity on social media, the tickets are selling,” Donabedian said. The two-day festival boasts two stages and will have facilities for basic tent camping, glamping (40-by-40 space with tent and cots provided and one parking space) and traditional RV camping.

Attendees can purchase tickets for one or both days, a “freshen up” pass with access to shower facilities, as well as VIP tickets that include private viewing of both stages, private restroom facilities, air-conditioned hospitality tents with free snacks and access to private cash bars with drink specials. The 2-Day General Admission Pass is $95, while the VIP Pass is $245.  Camping and RV Camping passes are also available.

Top 5 Must Eats at this Weekend’s Sauerkraut Festival

October 9, 2015 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

Get the German Sundae and it supports the American Legion Hall

More than seven tons of  sauerkraut is expected to be served at this weekend’s Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville.  But, this isn’t some locally named gig.  They call it the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival, so listen up from Cleveland to Chillicothe and from Pisgah to Perrysburg.  These hungry people are coming to celebrate the German food and heritage, and of course, the almighty Sauerkraut.  That’s right, they are all on a Food Adventure.  Who knows better about food than Hungry Jax, The Big Ragu and Chef House?

Let’s get down to it and discover what all the fuss is about the Sauerkraut Festival.  Let’s head on down, close to where State Route 48 meets State Route 42.

 

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY:

— More than 350,000 people are expected to attend with over 400 vendors of all sorts from more than 30 states.

WHEN: Always the 2nd weekend in October, this year’s dates are:
— Saturday, October 10th 9:00am – 8:00pm
— Sunday, October 11th 9:00am – 6:00pm

#1 Must Eat – Sauerkraut Donuts

WHERE:  Downtown Waynesville, North Main Street area.  LOTS of WALKING as the festival stretches the entire length of Downtown

 

What the heck is Sauerkraut?  Answer : Fermented cabbage.  Some complain about the smell or the taste.  But we cut right through the whiners and found the best eats… even the crankiest festival goer will enjoy these top 5 mouthwatering suggestions…

Drum roll please, strike up the Oompa band as Food Adventures delivers our patented Top 5 MUST EATS for The Ohio Sauerkraut Festival.

 

MUST EATS:

— SAUERKRAUT DONUTS:  #1 by a landslide… not even close.  Warm, soft, sugary and sweet.  They are amazing and we aren’t sure where the sauerkraut is, but the donuts are tremendous.   Get these damn donuts if you do nothing else all day.  But we warn you, get there early as the line get long.  Kids love them, and adults love them more…

— PUMPKIN FUDGE:  Find the fudge trolley.  Run, don’t walk.  They have various fudges, but here is the unique opportunity to get some pumpkin fudge.  When else in a Food Adventure do you get that chance?  Very rich and delicious, the fudge will have you craving something to drink, but you wont be sure what you want to drink.

Pumpkin Fudge – oh yeah, take some home too

— GERMAN SUNDAE: This is a bowl of chopped Potatoes, Sauerkraut, Cheddar Cheese, Sour Cream, Bacon Bits and an olive.  It looks like a sundae, but the bowl is a hearty, savory and salty favorite.  Can’t lose with this winner.  Great for sharing on the go.. a walking treat.

— HAWG DAWG:  A Giant hot dog with sauerkraut and mustard.  One of the biggest dogs we have even seen and stop with the jokes.  Take a bite outta this wienee and support Waynesville Athletic Charities.

— PULLED PORK  & KRAUT POTATO SKINS:  The dark horse out of nowhere, is the potato skins.  They have some pulled pork and sauerkraut on them, and the result is a tasty twist on your typical potato skins.  Worth a try, they are one-of-a-kind.

 

There are so many more food choices, but these are our TOP 5 MUST EATS for the fest.   Please note, some area spots like Stone House Tavern may have a limited or adjusted menu during the festival.  Our advice… GET THERE EARLY.. you won’t beat the crowd, but the crowd will be slightly less.

Tired of less?  Do you want more FOOD ADVENTURES?  Then join us on Facebook and “like” us by clicking here.

Rivertown Brewery Wins the “Thrilla in Waynesvilla” at Stone House Tavern

February 22, 2013 By Dayton937 1 Comment

Patrick Clark from Mt Carmel vs Jason Roper from Rivertown: Who has the best brewery ?

A packed house Wednesday night at Stone House Tavern  saw Rivertown Brewing Company beat Mt. Carmel Brewing Company by majority decision, 3 rounds to 2.   TO SEE THE SCORECARD RESULTS CLICK HERE ! The “Thrilla in Waynesvilla” Food Adventure event was a beer tasting, menu pairing and one of a kind evening.   Attendees tasted beers from the two breweries and voted for their favorites as Mt. Carmel and Rivertown slugged it out for the championship and bragging rights.

The breweries went head to head, beer to beer for 5 rounds in front of a crowd of over 60 thirsty judges.  The excitement for the “Thrilla in Waynesvilla” had been building for weeks and the event sold out in a few days.  The throwdown took place at Stone House Tavern in Waynesville.  The night was sponsored by Dayton Most Metro.com and The Food Adventure Crew who are originals, so you know this event was going to be out of the ordinary.  “Ring Announcer” Dan Apolito, part owner of  Stone House Tavern and Archers Tavern, hosted the event as the emcee.

As the bell rang, the anxious crowd drew to a hush as introductions were made.  In this corner, Patrick Clark, manager and marketing guru from Cincinnati’s Mt. Carmel Brewery was ready to present his beers!   In the opposing corner, Jason Roeper, owner and brewmaster of Rivertown Brewery in Cincinnati.  Hungry Jax was the cornergirl/cutman for Mt. Carmel Brewery, while The Big Ragu with sweat towel in hand, tended to Rivertown’s corner.  The action promised to be fast and furious with gulps, sips, hops and barley flying in all directions.  Each brewer took time to explain to the crowd why they felt their beer was the best.  It was a once in a lifetime chance to taste beer brewed hours ago, by the people who made them.   But talk can be cheap, and the judges decisions were made on taste.

Special Guest Ring Girl Aja, kicked off each round

Here is a round by round, blow by blow recap of the THRILLA IN WAYNESVILLA:

ROUND 1 – StoneHouse Tavern delivered a crisp and delicious Salmon Ceasar Salad to the judges and the pouring began.  Mt Carmel drew first blood when their Springtime Ale beat Rivertown’s Stonehouse Tavern Hefeweizen.  The Springtime Ale was rich and malty, and brewed in the tradition of a Scottish Ale.  The Stonehouse Hefeweizen was a worthy opponent brewed with Canadian pale malt and Pacific northwest hops.  WINNER : MT.CARMEL

ROUND 2 – The menu sampling continued with Stone House Tavern serving up some Cheddar Burger Sliders.  These little delights were topped with bacon, and were a perfect lead-in to the beer tasting.  Mt. Carmel took a commanding lead and landed a big blow when their Amber Ale grabbed a victory over Rivertown’s Hop Bomber Pale Ale.  The winning brew was deep in color with a smooth, complex flavor.  Rivertown’s beer, named after a b-24 bomber had a malty flavor, but fell short in a close vote. WINNER: MT. CARMEL

ROUND 3 – Sweet BBQ Boneless Wings were the food pairing this round from Stone House Tavern’s menu.  The tangy bites were served with ranch dipping sauce and satisfied everyone’s alert taste buds.  Rivertown scored its first victory of the night in round 3, when the caramel tasting, Munich style, Dunkel Lager won the judges vote.  Mt. Carmel’s Nut Brown Ale showed strong promise with hazelnut and maple flavors, but was edged out by the Dunkel. WINNER: RIVERTOWN

ROUND 4 – This round began with one of our favorites, the Blackened Fish Tacos from Stone House Tavern.  Flour tortillas,  filled with perfectly baked tilapia, cilantro, corn salsa and a spicy baja sauce were paired with 2 IPA’s in this round.  Rivertown’s Hop Baron Double Down IPA won the round and evened things up.  This impressive beer takes 2 hours to brew and uses four types of hops.  It narrowly defeated Mt. Carmel’s India Pale Ale.  Mt. Carmel’s entry offered a spicy, pine hop aroma with a beautiful orange color.  WINNER: RIVERTOWN

The event featured 5 rounds of beer face-offs paired with 5 menu items like these blackened fish tacos

ROUND 5 – Unbeknownst to the crowd, the score was tied leading into the final round of this throwdown.  Each brewing company had won 2 rounds, and the “Thrilla in Waynesvilla” was coming down to the wire!  The final menu sampling was a moist, delicious Chocolate Brownie, topped with Raspberry Sauce.  It was a perfect complement to the final beers of the night.  Mt Carmel offered their Stout beer.  It had a slight fruit aroma, with hints of  coffee and the color was pitch black.  It was toppled, however by Rivertown’s Roebling beer.  This beer, brewed with vanilla beans and Peruvian coffee, is named for the Roebling Bridge that connects Cincinnati to Covington, KY.   Roebling won the final round for Rivertown thereby securing a victory.  WINNER: RIVERTOWN

FINAL DECISION:  THE WINNER OF “THE THRILLA IN WAYNESVILLA” by majority decision, is RIVERTOWN BREWING COMPANY !!

When the beer brawl ended, Jason Roeper of Rivertown Brewing Company held the championship belt high above his head.  It was a tough battle, and Patrick Clark of Mt. Carmel Brewing Company, was gracious in defeat.  The competitors posed for post-fight pictures, and shook hands with the crowd.  It was a great night with a unique opportunity to hear from some experts who know their craft.  It was also a reminder to buy local and see what Ohio has to offer.

If you missed this event, you missed a lot.  The “Thrilla in Waynesvilla” was a huge success.    Each attendee received souvenir pint glasses from both Mt Carmel and from Rivertown Brewery.  Door prizes included gift certificates to Archer’s Tavern, Olive and Stone House Tavern.  Other giveaways were 6 packs of Rivertown Beer, 6 packs of Mt Carmel Beer, t-shirts and hats.

The final round included Rivertown’s Roebling and Mt Carmel’s Stout paired with dessert

The brew battle was heated, and a great time was had by all.  Great local beer and delicious menu samples capped a wonderful,  SOLD OUT Food Adventure!  Again, congratulations to Jason Roeper, owner and brewmaster of Rivertown Brewery.   Special thanks to Patrick Clark from Mt. Carmel Brewery, who presented some fantastic beers in the main event.  Dan Apolito and Mike Fullenkamp of  Stone House Tavern deserve special recognition for hosting the epic showdown with their stellar staff.   Even Lisa Grigsby with Dayton Dining was in attendance!  We also want to give a  shout out to Aja Delaney, our lovely ring girl.

The Big Ragu would like to thank the attendees who judged the contest.  We appreciate all of the positive feedback and comments.  Food Adventures has been setting the trends for 5 years now, so stay tuned to DaytonMostMetro.com for more original Food Adventures like this in the future.  As for the “Thrilla in Waynesvilla,” this tremendous event was a knockout !!

Holiday Shopping in Downtown Centerville & Waynesville

December 9, 2010 By Dayton Most Metro 1 Comment

Did you know…?

….That the Dayton Daily News rated the downtown Centerville area as NUMBER 1 for the most interesting and fun place to shop?  And I am totally embarrassed to reveal that I have lived in the Centerville area for about 10 years and never even bothered to have a peek at some of those specialty and boutique stores.  Well, my research, of course, involved a day of visiting some of these stores.  Folks, I’m originally from New York, and I have to say, even I was amazed!  The experience for me was like a walk through the shopping and art districts of Paris, France, Los Angeles, and New York City all put together. I learned that some of these shops are introducing what some of the proprietors calculate as products, gifts and clothing which put Dayton one, if not two years, behind the fashion curve!!  Suddenly I felt this little proud and pouty little kid complex come out of me.   I personally was once painfully enjoying that privileged bombardment of products and artwork whose first introduction to the world came through New Yorkers “Only”.   Generally, we knew that products were first tested on New Yorkers, because, as the rule goes, if New Yorkers liked it, then your product would more than likely succeed throughout the rest of the country!  How blessed I once felt!  Well, I’ll be darned; I got over that quickly as I walked through some of these shops!

Allow me to name just a few of some really very unique shops like Joli Boutique, Circa Home Décor and Antiques, Asahel’s Emporium, Loralei’s Boutique, and Visceral Gallery, etc. I’d really love to introduce some extraordinary Christmas items you can find and purchase at these stores, ranging from the one of a kind for the “unique” you to the extremely reasonable and accessible!

For a listing of downtown Centerville shops go to www.heartofcenterville.com

Remember Asahel’s Emporium?  Didn’t that used to be mostly a museum type place?  Well, guess again, it was a mini winter wonderland of specialty gifts and crafts like greeting cards, artisan jewelry, Christmas snowmen and Santas, ornaments that can be personalized, stocking stuffers, car charms, photography, handbags, wall art, mantel signs, ceramic angels, pottery, fine art umbrellas, kitchen towels, floral nightlights, clocks made with wood that is more than 180 years old, puzzle balls, plant stakes and need I continue?  A very nice benefit to your purchase here is that all proceeds go to the historical society of Centerville-Washington Township which helps to preserve the town’s history and educational programs for children. That’s kind of awesome!

Circa Home Décor and Antiques is a feast for your creative eyes. Items like Christmas ornaments and decorations that are unusually different and with unique color tones, tons of assorted Christmas Santas, French milled soaps shaped like your pets, tea towels, table cloths, authentic shell, cast iron and beaded napkin holders, Christmas socks, festive shoes, dishware and highly unusual mantel stockings.  There is clothing and antique artwork, and more.

Joli Boutique was very original and the owner shared that her ideal in opening up such a store eightyears ago, was first and foremost the return of genuine and personal customer service, and yes, I experienced it and I observed everyone else experiencing it too! This store serves all ages, sizes and price ranges.  There are humanity bracelets whose proceeds go to school supplies for homeless children across the nation.  There’s a hat shop and they sell one of a kind gowns, vintage and modern gowns, and there is the coolest little metal black dress to die for!  There’s jewelry and clothing from artists from Los Angeles to Paris.  There are essential oils, soaps, popcorn shirts out of Rockport, Massachusetts, and really cool snake chains made of soft pliable metal that can be molded into whatever your little artistic fingers can design (I’m getting one of those ASAP!), dickies, leg warmers, leggings, etc. etc.  All I can say about this place is for you to dare to “step outside the box”!   La Shoe Boutique (same location, upstairs) carries shoes, boots, clothing, accessories; local artist boot jewelry, earrings, hats and the owners of both stores are sweet people and welcoming.

Quick synopsis of the others…

Loralei’s Boutique – Finer and designer consignment, and gently used merchandise. Some is also new, scarves, hats, authentic Gucci, Coach, Brahmin, Dooney, and Burke.  Juicy bags, Ferragamo shoes, St. John knit suits, crystal chandeliers, and high end boutique items.  The place is beautifully decorated.  The owner is offering gift certificates of $50 for $35 and other amounts are also available.

Unique Celebrations sells things like Santa wine stoppers, unique gifts, a very special potpourri, Christmas teas, personalized hand painted ornaments and glassware, wine glasses and plates, with special messages, and you can even book parties in her sister shop called The Tea Room.  Gifts are creatively wrapped at no extra charge!

Visceral Gallery – This owner was kind of special.  She has been in her shop for two years, is an artist herself, andtaught art at three different levels in the Centerville schools.  She specializes in elements for interiors and corporate design, fine art and unique jewelry, local and national artists (over 50 artists in-house who represent local, regional and national environments.  There is silver jewelry, body adornments, silk scarves, dyed shirts, mobiles, glasswork, sculptures, framed items, Japanese clay jewelry, and even some of Bing Davis’ pottery ceramics!  Bing Davis’s work was part of the show held at the Dayton Art Institute.  He is an educator and artist from the area.  There are even origami cards! And this doesn’t cover it all.  Exhibits change monthly, and you can rent Visceral for your next event.  It’s a very contemporary and classy locale.  For more information, visit www.francineriley.com/visceral.html

Now let’s take a ride down the road over to Waynesville, Ohio to…

THE WAYNESVILLE SHOPS: The Antiques Capital of the Midwest!

  • December 26 through January 3rd is Waynesville’s “Ring in the New Year” sidewalk sale.

When you’re finished with your Christmas and holiday shopping, hand in your free passport either to a store proprietor or to the Chamber of Commerce at 10B North Main Street in Waynesville, to be considered in the drawing for the above-mentioned $500 Shopping Spree and Getaway Weekend!  The Passport period ends January 3rd so be sure to submit your passport by that day.  For information, directions and a listing of shops go to www.waynesvilleohio.com
