Editor's Note: |
|
My goal was to bring a thousand
visitor's into the South Park Historic
Neighborhood as a
preamble to their upcoming Rehabarama on October 12 through October 21.
We made our goal; HSPI president
Karin
Manovich wrote “Crowd counter/jazz advocate Ron Gable estimated
1,000-1,500 people were present in total over the course of the day. We
gave out many, many Rehabarama tickets.”
We also received an outstand write-up in the Dayton Daily
News, which is posted on this website. See the headline and link
above to go to their article and pictures.
I wish to thank personally our festival committee:
Shane Anderson, Karolyn Mann, Walter Williams and Deron Bell who worked
with me to make this event happen.

The South Park Tavern Contribution: |
|
I would just like all to
know South Park Tavern will have live jazz after the jazz in the park the
night of the 29th with beer, wine, and pie specials all day. The musicians
name is Dennis Turner; he is an electric guitar jazz artist. He will be
playing from 9pm to 12am. This will be our first live performance at the
tavern and if all goes well we have in the works live acts for the
Rehabarama! |

| The
reason for our festival: |
|
Rehabarama returns to Dayton's historic South Park neighborhood from
Friday, October 12 through Sunday, October 21. Ten fully restored and

The homes will also be newly decorated and furnished, courtesy of the
