Festival of Flight October 7, 2023)

One of my favorite yearly local events is the Festival of Flight. The best part to me, is the parade held on the first Saturday of the event. Unique in that airplanes are in the parade. Those seen at left and below are just under half of the ones that were in the parade. There were of course marching bands, cars and other things common to Parades. 

The event was a lot of fun on a chilly October day. I went down and explored the booths, had some lunch there, and...well there is a lot going on in New Carlisle for this festival!  

 

Wheeling, WV and Cumberland, MD Trip (September 25-29, 2023)

Great time in late September traveling to a couple of favorite places. Went to Wheeling, WV which can be seen in the photo at left and the bridge photo. Stopped at Coleman's for their amazing fish sandwich, and saw the bridge from Wheeling Island. In Cumberland, had hot dogs, visited the HQ and a church in that fine city. Have a view from the hotel, and finally a photo my wife took as we traveled in West Virginia on the way home. It was a wonderful adventure. 

 

Waco 100th Anniversary (September 17, 2023)

Great time at the Waco Fly-in. Had well over 40 aircraft at the event. Back in the 20's-40's Waco operated a factory at this site. Now it is a museum but its grass field serves as a yearly homecoming for these beautiful aircraft. If you are ever in the area, this museum is worth a visit in Troy, Ohio. 

 

Louisville/Southern Indiana (September 12-15, 2023)

We made a road trip and spent four days in the Louisville, Kentucky area as well as wandering some towns in Southern Indiana. Beautiful area and fast changing the past few years with a lot of new construction going up amid the old. There is a lot of history in the area. 

Weather was fantastic. Fun to see some old places as well, grew up in this area so always fun to revisit, and saw many family and friends. 

Thank you for visiting my pages!

 

Porchfest, Troy, Ohio (September 9, 2023)

Very cool event, went to "Porchfest". Never been to anything quite like it. Started with a high school band, then around the Troy, Ohio Historic District bands played in yards, and yes...on porches...in the very beautiful houses in that area. 

Was a great time, and a great variety of music which ran from noon to six pm. Seven bands at seven locations each hour. 

We had a wonderful time, and certainly will be returning to this event next year. 

 

Around Ohio (September 7, 2023)

A few sights of late around here, have been enjoying some wonderful days here in Ohio, and have been to some very nice places here. Its a fun state with a lot to see and do. 

Been warm of late, with a late summer hot spell, but cooler weather is coming up the next few days, and some fall like temperatures. Looking very forward to that, its one of my favorite seasons. 

I hope you enjoy these photos, and thank you as always for visiting my pages!

 

Return to Rising Sun (August 29-31, 2023)

My wife and me had a great time, as usual, in Rising Sun, Indiana. Photos at left and below are from Rising Sun (at the Ohio River) and Aurora, as well as Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Always a fun area to hang out and explore. 

Have to give a shoutout to "Hoosier IceHouse" in Lawrenceburg. Had lunch there, and it was outstanding. First time visit but not the last. 

We go to this area often, and it is one of our favorite places to visit. I hope you enjoy this short look, and thank you for visiting my pages!
