Around the Miami Valley

The World-A-Fair....Food!  Dancing!  Music!  Costumes!  Cultural Exhibits!  Showcasing the ethnic backgrounds and cultures of Dayton and the greater Miami Valley. Friday, Saturday & Sunday at the Convention Center.

Saturday, join the Walk/Run in support of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton to benefit all of their furry friends.  Your on-leash pet is welcome to participate too, in what is sure to be a barking good time.

Springfield is this year's host for the Miami Valley Cycling Summit. The Summit is designed to help both large and small communities learn how to use cycling to drive economic development.

Organizers for this year's event have come up with the theme Cycling Connects. A panel of experts will detail how communities can benefit economically and connect with other cities in the region and around the nation to develop a profitable biking agenda.

On May 17th and 18th, naturalist, author, and artist, Julie Zickefoose will be at Glen Helen for a creativity workshop and her presentation "Rooted in Ohio." Click here for details.

Last week Zickefoose spoke with WYSO's Jerry Kenney about her appearance at Glen Helen, her love of nature, home life, and more.
