Equine Facilitated Wellness Programs

June 16, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Hoofprints mission is to transform lives through the unique relationship between horses and humans, fostering physical, emotional, and behavioral growth through equine assisted activities. Located in Miamisburg, offer programs for kids (8 years and up), teenagers, adults, couples, and families.

HoofPrints offers Equine Assisted Mental Wellness; this experiential learning goes beyond traditional ‘talk therapy.’  It gives support to traditional clinical counseling. Students will interact with the horses in their own environment around the farm. These non-riding activities allow true bonding between horses and humans. They understand that horses can unlock potential and give insight to ones self. Our Facilitators are Licensed Mental Health Professionals and hold several Equine Assisted Activities Certifications.

Thanks to a generous donor, they are lowering their program fees for the Summer of 2025! Rather than offering single scholarships, we decided to apply scholarship dollars to every family

Their Horsin’ Around program is for all kids ages 8+. The kids will be playing games with the horses and well, just Hangin’ Around with each other. It’s an excellent time to get them outside and get connected. It is also a perfect time to bring a friend who is curious about HoofPrints.

Horses Healing Humans will be facilitated by certified grief counselors from Life, Grief & Co. These grief specialists understand that each person uniquely experiences grief. We are offering two sessions: one for youth and one for adults. Regardless of where you are in your grief of a loved one, we hope that you will find some peace after sharing yourself with our horses.

For more info, check out the website.

Dayton Air Show Brings Air Force Thunderbirds, High-Flying Fun

June 15, 2025 By Guest Contributor

Get ready to look up, because one of the region’s most epic summer traditions is about to take flight! The annual CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show, presented by Kroger, is set to return to the Dayton International Airport, June 21 & 22. Get ready to “take off” for top-flight fun as the spectacular U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds headline the 51st-anniversary event.
Founded in 1975, the CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show is one of North America’s premier air shows. It features world-class aerobatic champions, military jet demonstrations and entertainment for the whole family. It celebrates Dayton’s rich aviation heritage as home of the Wright Brothers, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, National Aviation Hall of Fame, National Aviation Heritage Area, and Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.

In addition to the Thunderbirds, this year’s show features a jaw-dropping lineup of other featured performers, as well as an impressive lineup of aircraft for the ground displays. Grab your aviator sunglasses and flight jacket, as we give a brief preview of this year’s show!

U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds

America’s “Ambassadors in Blue,” the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, are back to wow the crowd with precision, power, and perfectly choreographed aerial stunts. These six F-16 Fighting Falcon pilots are more than just expert flyers — they’re ambassadors of excellence and a true symbol of American airpower.

💡 Did you know?

The Thunderbirds’ aircraft can be combat-ready in just 72 hours, and their brakes are made right here in Troy, Ohio!

U.S. Army Golden Knights

U.S. Army Golden Knights

From heart-pounding skydives to precision landings that’ll leave your jaw on the ground, the U.S. Army Golden Knights are back to thrill Dayton! This elite team of paratroopers—originally formed in 1959—represents the absolute best in military parachuting. Based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the 16-member team travels in their signature Fokker C-31A Troopship, and when they jump, crowds can’t look away. Their canopy work and sky-high choreography are as inspiring as they are exhilarating.

💡 Dayton Connection:

Did you know that freefall parachuting has roots right here in Dayton? Army Lt. Harold R. Harris made the first successful emergency bailout using a parachute at Old McCook Field in 1922. And for decades, Wright Field (now part of Wright-Patt) was a hub for parachute tech research. So when you’re watching the Knights soar, remember—this airborne excellence has deep local roots!

Red Bull Team Performers

Red Bull Helicopter

Hold on tight! The Red Bull Air Force is coming to Dayton, and they’re bringing their signature adrenaline-pumping energy. Featuring the Red Bull helicopter piloted by Aaron Fitzgerald, skydivers (soon to be revealed!), and aerobatic ace Kevin Coleman, this team defies gravity and expectations. Their daring maneuvers and stunt flying aren’t just flashy—they’re a high-flying celebration of human potential and precision.

Third Strike Wingwalking

Get ready to meet a living legend in the sky. Carol Pilon, North America’s only professional female wingwalker, is returning to Dayton with her team, Third Strike. Since 2000, she’s been balancing high above the wings of vintage aircraft while they slice through the air at show-stopping speeds. From cold-weather wingwalks in Maine to jet-powered feats, Carol’s gravity-defying performances are a masterclass in courage, grace, and total fearlessness.

💡 Fun Fact

Carol’s not just a performer—she’s the first woman, Canadian, and wingwalker to fully own and operate her own air team. Talk about boss energy.

Goodyear Blimp

You’ll definitely want to “look up” for this one. The iconic Goodyear Blimp will be floating over the Dayton skies during the Air Show, celebrating an incredible 100 years of aviation history! This year, Wingfoot One—the modern version of the beloved blimp—makes a special appearance from its base near Akron.

💡 Fun Facts:
  • The Goodyear aviation legacy began in 1910, with its first balloon launched in 1912.

  • During WWII, Goodyear trained pilots and built 154 blimps to help protect ships from enemy submarines.

  • Blimps became pop culture icons, appearing at the Rose Bowl, the Super Bowl, and the Olympics.

  • The new semi-rigid “Wingfoot” series launched in 2014, bringing cutting-edge tech to an American classic.

Seeing it in the sky is more than nostalgia – it’s a floating tribute to Ohio’s aeronautical innovation.

This is just a small taste of the weekend’s featured performers – you can see the complete lineup of featured performers at the Dayton Air Show website.

Ground Displays

Aircraft Ground Displays

In addition to the performers, an extensive range of aircraft will be featured in the ground displays. A few of the scheduled aircraft include the C-17, KC-135, F-35A, T-6 Texan, DC-8 Samaritan’s Purse, and B-29 Superfortress “Doc”. The list of ground display aircraft is actively being updated as we write this, so visit the Air Show website for the latest updates.

Gem City Groundlings Reimagined Macbeth to Premiere at ‘Glass!’

June 12, 2025 By Joshua Stucky

Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy has been reimagined for a modern age in Dayton’s most thrilling venue, The Roger Glass Center for the Arts. The  Gem City Groundlings, Dayton’s premier Shakespeare company, is proud to present a riveting new production of Macbeth, opening Thursday, June 19th and running through Saturday, June 27th at The Roger Glass Center for the Arts and The Levitt Pavilion.

This fierce 90 minute adaptation distills the essence of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy into a searing, suspenseful thrill ride of ambition, prophecy, and power. With a lean cast, minimalist design, and visceral performances (and oh yes, the fighting!), the Groundlings promise a Macbeth that is as haunting as it is unforgettable.

“Something wicked this way comes—fast, sharp, and dangerously close,” says Andrew Mitakides (Cofounder and Executive artistic director). “This production strips away the pomp to reveal the raw psychological terror beneath the crown.” Mitakides is also playing the lead role.

Featuring a cast of local and national talent—including performers from Washington, DC—this Macbeth reimagines the Scottish Play for a 21st-century audience while remaining faithful to the Bard’s original language.

This production is one of the first local theatre companies to play the ‘Glass’ with more to come in the future. The ‘Glass’ has shown great interest in presenting community and professional theatre projects that are produced in the area!

Don’t miss Macbeth!

Performance Dates:

  • Opening Night: Thursday, June 19 at 7:30 PM

  • Weekend Performances: Fridays & Saturdays at 2pm and 7:30 PM; Sundays at 2:00 PM

  • Levitt performances June 26th and 27th at 7pm. Closing June 28th

Tickets:

https://am.ticketmaster.com/rogerglass/buy/macbeth

General Admission: $25 | Students/military and first responders 20

Available now at www.gemcitygroundlings.com/tickets

More About the Groundlings can be found here:

Gem City Groundlings is Dayton’s newest and most innovative Shakespeare company, committed to producing bold, text-driven theatre that connects timeless stories with modern audiences. From visceral tragedies to raucous comedies, we bring the Bard to the heart of the Miami Valley with passion, wit, and purpose.

Ashley’s Pastry Shop turns 43

June 12, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

40 Years in Business

Theresa and Greg Hammons

It really doesn’t seem possible that it’s been forty three years since they opened the doors of their bakery shop on Park Avenue in Oakwood.

Owner Theresa Hammons shares, “as some may know, a baker’s hours aren’t always the easiest, but we love what we do and we cherish being able to have a business that we love, and we are thankful to be able to take some time off each summer to spend uninterrupted time with those we love.”

We asked here what’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned over the years?

“I would be to surround yourself with a great team of employees, vendors, accountants, bankers, insurance agents- all the pieces of the pie that will make your business successful. Form a partnership with each of these individuals and consider them part of your TEAM. Also, engage in the community ,not only the community that your business is in but DAYTON as a whole. Dayton is truly a GEM city and see how you can make an impact in the lives of others.

We asked her what sweet treat she celebrates with?

“We will always have our sand tarts, but a slice of our  Fresh Strawberry Torte is a must have too!”

Finally we asked her to share advice  with entrepreneurs that want to open their own business:

Owning your own business and wearing the entrepreneur hat is a BIG one! A role that after 43 YEARS we still really LOVE. Work for others to develop your skill sets and learn from others, your way of thinking isn’t the ONLY way of thinking and by seeing how others operate you will be in a better position when you begin your own journey. Be prepared for adaptability and the unexpected . Keep in mind, we can not also control our situation but we can control how we handle and react to what we face.We are so fortunate that our passion has afforded us this great business. As one of our customers said… we are not a bakery but we bake memories layered in sugar, flour, sweetness and deliciousness  with  love and care for the ones that grace our doors. We are serving our 4th generation of customers and we are so PROUD of that honor we have been given. We have many customers that come in daily..we NEVER  take that for granted. Everyone has a choice and there are so many great choices in Dayton, we want to be sure they are happy with their experience and willing to share that with others.

Today through Saturday, when youvisit the store you can fill out a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of these prizes:

21 Park Ave,
Dayton, OH, 45419

Dayton at Work and Play: Dayton Humane & Co

June 9, 2025 By Bill Franz

Visit to Dayton Humane & Co. – A Resale Boutique (Crosspointe Shopping Center, Centerville).
Brian Weltge has been the Humane Society’s president for more than 20 years and I’ve enjoyed seeing all of the new things he’s done with the organization, things like opening a Veterinary Hospital or starting the MeowZa Cat Boutique at the Dayton Mall. I’ve been looking forward to checking out their new Resale Boutique.
Stephanie showed me around. She said they’ve been researching this move for more than a year. When they got this space – a former Marshall’s store – they saw they could create something unlike most thrift stores. With this layout you can see everything that’s currently available.
I asked one of the shoppers what she thought of the store. “I found a nice top for $4 and a word game for only $2. I’m hoping I can get my grandkids to try the game instead of doing everything on their phones. I like the way they’ve laid things out here so you can find everything. I’ll be back.”
I checked out their artwork and found a very broad range of price points – from a $20 framed print to a large piece for $500. I thought $500 was high for a thrift store until I checked out the artist online. Paintings by Michael Nisperos regularly sell for $2,000 and more.
I love the way they’re promoting the store “It’s more than just shopping – every purchase supports the lifesaving work of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, a no-kill animal welfare organization.”
At my stage of life I’m donating a lot more items than I’m buying. I was glad to see that they offer a pickup service if you have large items to donate. Just email them at shophumane@hsdayton.org The store is open 10 to 6 Wednesday through Friday, 11 to 7 Saturday and 12 to 4 Sunday.

You are the tour boss. You pick the date and time – ticket is good for any day or time – dates/times listed only as a guideline to give you an idea of how long tour normally takes.

The Miami Valley region that Dayton is located in has trails! 350 miles of bike trails – “the nations largest paved trail network“. This tour certainly is not going to try to cover all of it in one day, but will cover several miles of the best of it.

Here, you can see one of the world’s largest water fountains, Five Rivers Fountain of Lights. There is also a concession stand and restrooms.

Next stop on the tour is the national monument to the Wright brothers – Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. The air conditioned museum and historical center, Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center, ties together the Wright brothers ingenious contributions to the world of transportation, from printing to bicycles to airplanes. “Visitors can view the park film, Wright Brothers On Great White Wings, in the auditorium. From there, guests can explore the interpretive exhibits and displays on the first floor which give more insight into the lives and aviation journey of Dayton’s most famous figures, Wilbur and Orville Wright“.

Last stop is the massive National Museum of the US Air Force – “the world’s largest military aviation museum. With free admission and parking, the museum features more than 350 aerospace vehicles and missiles and thousands of artifacts amid more than 19 acres of indoor exhibit space“.

Bring yours or rent one in the Dayton area (see confirmation information for listings). Sweating is optional. The route is shaded about 75% of the way.

Anticoli’s Famous Garlic Dressing Now Available!

June 6, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

1931 was an important year for the Anticoli family. It was on New Year’s Eve or 1931 that   Antonio and Sarah Anticoli opened their first establishment, “The Rendezvous” in Dayton, Ohio. This would become the foundation of what would be an 87-year run of continuous restaurant operations for 3 generations of family owners.

After 20 years at this original spot on East Fifth Street in St Anne’s Hill (photo-above w/ Antonio behind the counter), the Anticoli family moved to Salem Avenue in North Dayton in 1951 and renamed the restaurant Anticoli’s.  In the 1960s and 1970s, Leo oversaw the restaurant’s kitchen, while his brother, Tony, and sister, Gloria, ran the front of the restaurant.

After their parents died in the late 1970s, Leo, Gloria and Tony continued to run the eatery with help from the third generation of Anticolis.  The Salem Ave restaurant closed in 2000.  Leo then launched Caffe Anticoli, which operated on North Main Street in Clayton from 2000 to 2010. After it closed, Leo and his son Chris moved south to open Anticoli’s Giuliano Tavern in Miamisburg, adding the reference to Leo’s father’s hometown in Italy to the restaurant name. That business closed on June 7, 2015.

Leo’s son Michael opened La Piazza in Troy in 1992, and ran it quite successfully until he closed it in February of 2018.  In discussing why he closed it Michael shared how he’d watched his whole family dedicate their lives to the business, working well into their old age as the restaurants daily.  He decided he didn’t want to do that, and instead decided to create a balanced life for him and his family.  Yet he couldn’t totally walk away from his families legacy.

If you dined at any of these Anticoli establishments, no doubt you remember their House Dressing.  Michael Anticoli, who is the 3rd generation of this famed family of restaurateurs is now making the dressing available through Anticoli Specialty Foods website or this summer at the 2nd Street Market.  He makes this dressing in small batches with no additives at a production facility in Troy.

Created so many years ago by Michael’ s grandparents and carried on today by him.
You can use as so much more than just salad dressing.  Michael suggests using it on
chicken, shrimp, steak, meatballs, pasta, eggs even a simple turkey sandwich is blown away when you spread
The Dressing on your favorite bread or lettuce wrap.
A 16 oz. container is only $10.

It’s Gluten-free, Dairy-free and Sugar-Free.

Ingredients: Garlic, Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Canola Oil, Vinegar, Herbs, Spices

Three Birds Dayton Opening June 17th

June 6, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Big Bird, Larry Bird and Lady Bird Johnson, what do these 3 have in common?

They all appear on the walls of Dayton’s newest restaurant, Three Birds.  It’s touches like these you’ll find all over the building that clue you in that the thought behind this restaurant is playful and fun.

The Idea Collective, a hospitality development company  who have  brought us Sueño and Tender Mercy downtown are currently in a soft opening previews for their new eatery in the former Carmel’s space on Shroyer Road. I was lucky enough to get an invitation to Thursday nights meal, which would be donating a percentage of the proceeds to The Ruib Girls.

Chris Dimmick

The  4000 sq foot restaurant, which was originally opened in the 50’s as the Parkmoor, has seen massive remodeling. After closing on the property in November of 2024, the Idea Collective started working with Moda4 envisioning how they could respect the building, but modernize it to their vision. Chris Dimmick , one of the owners explains “we stripped the building down to the studs, expanded the kitchen and restrooms and strived hard to honor the mid century feel of the building and feature the light brought in through the windows. The majority of our time so far has just been spent trying to make this concept fit into that building and honoring what’s there and protecting it.”  “The original design for that building actually won architectural awards when it was built as the Parkmoor,” said co-owner David Kittredge said.

The Idea Collective tapped local chef Crystal Coppock to open the restaurant last fall. She’s been cooking in the area for about 20 years at Fleming’s, the sous chef at Meadowlark and most recently as the Chef du Cuisine at The Golden Lamb.
We’ve been impressed with her cooking and attention to detail since she advanced to the finals of our Chef Showdown (Dayton’s local version based on the Chopped TV show)  in 2017.

Crystal Coppock

However not long into their discussions about Three Birds, Crystal had to make the call that she’d suffered an injury that would be career altering and would no longer to be able work up to par daily in the kitchen.  It didn’t take the Idea Collective long to make a decision to offer Crystal the General Manager position for the new restaurant.  Crystal shared, she takes on this challenge “with unbridled excitement. As a chef I’ve always felt connected to front of house and now I’m excited to use my lifetime of experience to move to the front of the house. As chef I was disconnected with guests and diners and now I’ll have the opportunity to really influence the guest experience we offer.”

Coppock explained that the restaurant will feature “New American Cuisine” that is family friendly with a selection of crafted cocktails, wine and beer and a menu that will change seasonally, allowing them to take advantage of local foods.  Here’s the opening menu and some pictures of the dishes we enjoyed:

Opening Menu

The pimento cheese has a bit of a quick and is served with a sleeve of Ritz crackers, which takes you right back to childhood enjoyment of this treat.

Corndog Shrimp with a spicy mustard and mango jam were inspired by owners David Kittredge, and Ginger Roddick’s memories of the dish served in Austin Texas at the Moonshine Grill.

The Steak Frites was perfectly cooked and filling for even the largest appetite.

The Cacio e Pepe was rich and creamy.

 

Be sure and leave room for dessert as the  Basque Cheesecake with poppyseed crumble, and the Chocolate Budino (our tables favorite) were rich and decadent.
For their second night of service I was impressed with how quickly food came out of the kitchen and the smiles and spot on service from the staff.  I look forward to returning and spending many evenings enjoying cocktails on one of the 90 seats on the patio and making my way though the rest of the menu.

Heartsiq’s Third Annual “Mixtape” Festival is this Saturday with Two Stages, Vendors, and Art at The Brightside

June 5, 2025 By Dayton937

Heartsiq is a queer focused arts and entertainment group based in Dayton, OH that presents monthly curated live music and visual arts events around town, monthly “Queeraoke” events at The Oregon Express, and other queer focused events throughout the year.

On June 7th, they’re presenting their 3rd Annual Mixtape Festival featuring queer artists, live musicians, DJs, MCs, vendors, and more on multiple stages at The Brightside Music and Events Venue.

“We’ve changed the game this year for Pride!” Kacie Clover, Heartsiq Partner said. “Get ready for a local vendors market, a DJ rave room with go-go dancers, a talk show, local acts, and so much more!”

Heartsiq has grown over the last three years from a monthly showcase to their third annual Mixtape Festival over Pride weekend with dozens of events at multiple venues every year.

“We need Pride now more than ever. Queer joy is important. Queer joy is necessary. Queer joy is revolutionary” Ky Heart, Founder and Partner said. “We’re here and we’re not going anywhere. This festival is going to be Heartsiq like you’ve never seen it before! ”

If you’re interested in attending Heartsiq’s Mixtape Festival or other events, organizers say these events are for everyone.

“The definition of queer people and queer identities is always growing,” Clover said. “Heartsiq is a home for every single person.” She continued “Hosting Heartsiq has been an incredibly rewarding experience.
