Dragons, Fireworks Make Perfect Fourth
5th/3rd Field crowd on July 3
Fireworks fans are illuminated near the Patterson St bridge in Dayton
There is nothing like a ball game on the Fourth of July followed by the best fireworks in western Ohio. The Dayton Dragons are in a slump so it was no surprise they couldn't keep up with the big bats from Ft Wayne. But the fans in 5th/3rd field didn't seem to mind in the perfect 70-degree evening with clear skies begging for their annual fireworks paint that was coming at dark. Everyone's a winner on the 4th of July.
We estimated 30,000 people witnessed the fireworks. The best vantage points were from the Patterson St bridge and the banks of the Little Miami River. The fireworks are launched from Deeds Point. More revellers were spotted north of the river as far away as the McDonalds parking lot on N. Dixie.
The lights from the ballpark illuimate the street and nearby buildings.
The best part of the day was seeing downtown Dayton come alive. With the adjacent Cityfolk Festival there was a bigger crowd than usual on the streets outside the stadium watching the game through the fence.

Horses Like Camping Too
By Karyn Temple
The beautiful weather June 5th - 7th, heralded in the Montgomery County Ohio Horseman Council’s Annual Sycamore Campout. This is the twelfth year for this annual event to enjoy the wonderful and ever changing park.
With the addition of the silver trail, Sycamore can now boast over twenty miles of horseback pleasure. Traversing through the various creeks, ravines, forest, old farm sites and Ohio prairie the rider can pick from a short two-hour ride to an all day event.
The campground filled with approximately nine rigs with horses and 45 additional day riders showed up throughout the 3-day event to enjoy the horse trails, wildlife, campfire, food and camaraderie. A special thanks goes to the club’s Jerry Basham for mowing the trails for their enjoyment.
Some of the highlights of the weekend were Montgomery County’s OHC member Tom Pompei’ gave pony rides on Sunday to some small children that were camped in the same area. On Friday night, the hungry riders and campers thoroughly enjoyed the pizza from our local Broadway Café. On Saturday, six riders and trusty steeds enjoyed the full moon ride. Even with the aversion of a potential disaster of forbidden ATV riders screaming up on them, the ride was an appreciation of the night in our park. For safety, Please remember ATV’s are never allowed on the horse or hiking trails.
For additional pictures and information on this wonderful Local Park and the events shared by the over one hundred and thirty equine families that belong to our OHC Club, please visit www.MontgomeryCountyOHC.com .

New Signs Dot Bike Trails
By Bruce Kettelle
Brand new color coded signs have been installed this spring on most of the area’s bike trails. Each trail has it’s own color code to make it easier to get around. Soon every trail in the region will be outfitted with the signs as the unique wayfinding initiative gets all the trail districts to adopt the new plan.
The Wolf Creek Rail Trail signs between Trotwood and Verona bear a distinctive bright purple. Each sign provides the name of the trail and lists a few points of interest ahead with the mileage to each.
“There are six signs between Trotwood and Verona,” said Jeff Green. Green is the dedicated Wolf Creek Rail Trail Technician that keeps the bikeway maintained. He is also responsible for many of the little improvements like several new benches installed along the trail recently.
Green said, “Riders should take a minute on their next ride to inspect the new prairie we installed behind Pete’s Station.” The abandoned station is located between Brookville and Verona. The prairie is one of several nature features accessible to riders from the trail.
The trail is operated by Five Rivers MetroParks. Planning to connect the trail southeast into Dayton and the Miami River trails network is underway but no timetable has been announced.
Hans Landenfeld of the Miami Valley Conservancy District is coordinating the sign initiative. It encompasses Five River Metro Parks, Montgomery County Parks, Green County Parks and Miami County Parks.
“His (Landenfeld’s) concept is to make the signs flow for trail users as they pass from county to county, “ said Greg Brumitt Five River’s Director of Outdoor Recreation. “We have one of the better trail systems in the state and want to make it easier for people to use it.”
The new signs will be found on all 70 miles of trails in the tri-county area. The sign colors will match the trail color on the regional bike maps.
