Masquerage Pays Homage to Lost Worlds

September 24, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

Masquerage returns once again to the Historic Roundhouse at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds on Saturday, October 21, 2017. Equitas Health’s, formerly AIDS Resource Center Ohio, has earned a reputation for Masquerage, as being an over-the-top, all-out bash. The masked ball was dubbed Dayton’s Party of Parties by Ron Rollins of the Dayton Daily News several years ago and this themed event has continued to grow.

Masquerage is led by the Equitas Health Dayton Associate Board with Brenden Wynn as its 2017 Chair. Started in 2002 by Square One Salon owners Brent Johnson, Doug Henderson and Josh Stucky at Therapy Cafe, the party has grown and moved across town, to such unusual venues like The Merc, The Foundry and its latest home at the Roundhouse at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds.

Guests are invited to explore “Lost Worlds” at 2017 Masquerage. This year’s theme allows attendees to explore times or places, real or fiction, that showcases a world beyond the present. Think Atlantis, Mount Olympus, Medieval times, roaring 20’s, or Game of Thrones. You’re sure to see a few Ariels, Aphrodites, and Mother of Dragons. Masqueragers are encouraged to go all out and wear a costume that embodies their vision of Lost Worlds. But the one thing that is required of all party guests is a mask — whether you choose an elaborate Venetian mask, a party mask, or a face painted mask.

What makes Masquerage more than just a dance party is the entertainment. Over the years there have been escape artists, contortionists, dance crews, fire dancers,
knife throwers, and more.

This year, the featured guest performer is Alexis Michelle,   RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9 contestant, presented by Square One Salon. Red Ribbon Lounge ticket holders will have the opportunity to meet the original “subway fish” herself.

The over-the-top entertainment doesn’t stop there. Dayton’s own, The Rubi Girls, will return to give their always outrageous performance. You’ll also enjoy sultry Aerial performances by Femme Fatale Fitness. DJ Dayna will be rockin’ the Roundhouse til 1am with her own music mixes.

General admission tickets are $65, get your tickets now because prices go up to $75 at the door. You will be greeted with a signature welcome cocktail created by MostMetro’s own Brian Petro, enjoy delicious food provided by SageCraft Catering, night-long entertainment, and non-stop dancing.

 

If you prefer to attend Masquerage as a VIP, splurge for the Red Ribbon Lounge tickets, which include your own private entrance, all of your drinks, decadent assortment of appetizers and desserts, entry into the 2nd floor lounge with a voyeuristic view from above, exclusive entertainment, meet and greet with Alexis Michelle, and the always coveted swag bag for $150. Red Ribbon Lounge tickets cost $175 at the door, so don’t delay.

Want MORE to do? Joining the Masquerage lineup this year is The Mural Machine who will be LIVE painting the event – simply amazing to watch their vision come to life!   You can also go home with fabulous silent auction prizes if you have the winning bid OR take home a diamond and 14k gold necklace from James Free Jewelers simply for the price of a raffle ticket.

Masquerage Tickets and Raffle Tickets can be purchased online at Masquerage.org. The party starts at 8 PM and runs til 1AM. See you at the Roundhouse on October 21!

3rd Annual Mass Meditation & Yoga Event at Courthouse Square

September 19, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

Dayton’s Mass Meditation and Yoga event at Courthouse Square is planned for September 21, 2017 from 5:30-7pm

For the third year in a row, the Heartfulness Institute of Dayton invites the entire community downtown to Courthouse Square on Thursday Septemeber 21st, 2017 for free, beginner-friendly yoga and meditation sessions. This lovely, community building event celebrates both the autumn equinox and the United Nation’s International Day of Peace.

The idea for this type of “mass meditation” came from Libby Ballengee, a local event organizer, who was inspired by a similar event that was planned for New York City’s Central Park. She dubbed the first event “Dayton Big Quiet” and sought out assistance from meditation experts. Ballengee explains, “It started as a “what if” conversation on Twitter, and the idea took off. It was recommended that I check out the Natural Path Meditation Center in Beavercreek for help, and I’m so glad I did! They were the perfect partner for this event.”

They were perfect for the event because teaching meditation to the community is their speciality. The Natural Path Meditation Center is also known as The Heartfulness Institute of Dayton, a non-profit educational organization. They offer free relaxation, meditation, and yoga classes, as a service to the community, so that everyone has the same tools to manage stress. They are not affiliated with any religions. The meditation trainers simply want to help spread inner peace to all, in an effort to achieve world peace. The Dayton organization has been recognized by the State of Ohio for its significant contributions to the region.

Most recently, the organization opened a center inside the Fairfield Commons Mall, which offers these same free classes. It’s an incredible way to disconnect from our busy, plugged-in world, and simply let our minds rest. You can try out this heart-based meditation style at the meditation center in Beavercreek, the mall location, or downtown at this unique first day of fall event!

How to Go?

Dayton Ballet & DCDC Volunteers Duel Behind the Bar!

September 3, 2017 By LIbby Ballengee

Dayton is renowned for it’s incredible legacy in the history of American dance. In 1927, The Schwarz School of Dance (now Dayton Ballet School) was opened in Dayton, by the gifted Schwarz sisters, who returned home after performing professionally around the world. Ten years later, the sisters created “The Experimental Group for Young Dancers,” and staged a performance at the Dayton Art Institute. This was the first performance of what is now the Dayton Ballet, the second oldest regional ballet company in the US.

The Schwarz sisters instructed another pioneer of dance, Jeraldyne Blunden. In 1968, Jeraldyen went on to create her own school, Jeraldyne’s School of Dance. A few years later, she established the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, the first modern dance company in Ohio. The company regularly performs in Dayton, and around the world, including an upcoming trip to Russia and Kazakhstan next May as part of Dance Motion USA, a cultural diplomacy program organized by the U.S. Department of State and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

These incredible achievements and milestones are being celebrated with style over the next year or two. The Dayton Ballet celebrates it’s 80th Season, and next year DCDC hits their 50th Birthday! Volunteers from the Dayton Ballet Barre and DCDC Ambassadors are joining forces Tuesday, September 5th, 2017 at Brixx Ice Company to kickoff these spectacular seasons! They’ll be slinging drinks as dueling bartenders, and might even have a dance off or two!

Enjoy commradere, drink specials, and a fun way to support these historic arts organizations. Best of all – there will be random ticket giveaways for the exciting up-coming seasons! There will also be ticket discounts available to anyone interested. Tickets to these outstanding artistic events are perfect for date nights, girls nights, and gifts!

Dayton Musicians Remember Music Fan With Special Benefit Show

July 4, 2017 By LIbby Ballengee

Live music has a special way of bringing people together. Some refer to it as a scene, community, tribe, family, or simply “my people.” It’s a genuine form of self and group identity, that has a unique place in music lover’s hearts. When one of our people is tragically taken from us, it’s a ripple effect of sadness throughout the scene.

Sarah Vesey was a bright spot in the Dayton jam band family. She was a dedicated fan and friend to many in the area. This summer, Sarah died tragically, at the young age of 29, leaving behind a grieving family, parter and young son. Friends rallied together to pull together Stay Strong for Sarah Benefit Show to both remember Sarah, and help her family.

The evening starts early, with music starting at 6:30pm, during the dinner hour with acoustic jams from Sway. A portion of dinner sales this evening will be donated to the family to help offset medical costs, and set up a college fund for Sarah’s son. What a great reason to stop in for food and fun with friends!

Music will be running on all evening, till 2:30am, with awesome local jam bands including Cheezcake starting at 9:30pm, followed by Subterranean and The Ohio All Stars. What an incredible line-up! This is certainly a don’t miss evening! Everyone will be feeling the love at this show!

While you’re there, check out the awesome raffle items they have gathered from various restaurants, tattoo parlours, music festival passes, art work, and surprise baskets donated from national to regional bands. Seriously, cool stuff they’ve gathered!

How to Go?

Ickey Shuffles into Dayton May 8th

May 6, 2017 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

Monday May 8, 2017 Golf Outing

Monday May 8th, former Cincinnati Bengal star, Ickey Woods, shuffles into the Dayton area for charity, and he needs your help.  It is for a cause named after his late son, Jovante, who succumbed to a severe asthma attack during his high school years.

The Jovante Woods Foundation is hosting an event at NCR Country Club called “Fairways for Airways” to benefit a cure research for Asthma and help promote awareness of the dangers of the condition.

Food Adventures is proud to be a small part of this event.  We look forward to a fun day of golf with friends and celebs.

Ickey Woods

Archer’s Tavern, Boyle Mechanical, Dayton Freight are the major sponsors of the event.  The 2017 Fairways for Airways Celebrity Golf Outing on the South Course of the NCR Country Club is the 2nd annual event for this cause. The weather forecast is calling for clear skies with little to no chance for rain.  Temperatures should be in the high 50s for the noon shotgun start and the low 60s during most of the outing. Perfect Golf Weather.  There is still time for you to sign up for this one of a kind experience.

Each foursome will be paired with a celebrity for a round of golf.

In the past, former Reds, Bengals and Buckeye stars have been participating.  Former appearances have included James Brooks, Tom Browning, Archie Griffin, Jim Breech, Pete Johnson, Yancy Thigpen, Andy Harmon, Dmitri Young, Barney Bussey, Steve Caminiti, Richard Carey, Doug Pelfrey, Dan Wilkinson, Eric Shaw, Ernie Mills, Eric Thomas, Frank Minnifield, Lonzell Hill,  Joe Kelly, Robert Jackson, Kanavis Mcghee, Katie Blackburn, Michael Wiley

 and of course Ickey himself…

Event to be at NCR Country Club 5/8/17 9:30am

Registration and the driving range open at 9:30am. You are encouraged to register as soon as you arrive.

Buckeye Vodka is hosting the Buckeye Bloody Mary Bar beginning at 10:00 A.M. All vodka drinks are compliments of Dayton’s very own Buckeye Vodka!

A lunch buffet will be served beginning at 10:30.

Throughout the event, bottled water and sports drinks will be available compliments of US Foods.

Complimentary (and outstanding) beer will be available thanks to the beer sponsor, Lock 27 Brewing.

A familiar face to Dayton area Charities, Dan Apolito of Archer’s

There is a fantastic silent auction throughout the day featuring some very impressive sports memorabilia, a US Flag flown over the capital building donated by Congressman Mike Turner and Sharon Lowery, a day of fly fishing with Ickey Woods, an impressive basket from Buckeye Vodka and some great golf gear and summer gadgets from Heidelberg Distributing.

After the round of golf, mingle, swap stories and snap some pictures with former college and professional football, baseball and basketball greats. This truly is an event you will never forget, and a once in a lifetime opportunity.

LAST MINUTE SIGNUP – email dan@archerstavern.com  The cost is $1,500 per foursome.

 

Archer’s Tavern is one of the major sponsors of “Fairways for Airways” Celeb outing

Thanks again to Dan Apolito, owner of Archer’s Tavern and Ickey Woods for setting everything up. The Food Adventures Crew looks forward to slinging some beers and swinging some clubs for charity.
