Hawthorne Hill - In 1911, the Wrights began to build a mansion in Oakwood, a suburb of Dayton, Ohio. It was finished in 1914, and Orville, his sister Katharine, and their father Milton moved in. Wilbur, unfortunately, had died in the interim. After Orville's death in 1948, the National Cash Register Company bought the mansion and used it for a guest house, although the kept two rooms, including Orville's study, just as they were when the last inventor of the airplane passed away. It remains in their hands and is only open to the public on special occasions. |
Dayton Dragons Baseball - The Dayton Dragons are a Class A minor league baseball team affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds. They play in the Midwest League at Fifth Third Field. The team's home park is Fifth Third Field in Dayton, Ohio. During its first season the Dragons set a class A baseball attendance record of 581,853. That record was broken in 2003 when 590,382 fans — ranking seventh in all of minor league baseball — went through the turnstiles.
The Dragons average 8,375 fans per game, or 116% of capacity. The Dragons have been the top Class A team in attendance every year of their existence, and have set and re-broken the record for Class A attendance three times. On April 17, 2007, the Dragons enjoyed their 500th consecutive sellout, believed to be the longest current streak in professional sports.
We are actively awaiting their 2010 schedule to see if we can have a night at the ball park. We will be sitting in the Dragon's Den, provate seating area for 350 where the photo was taken.
Stay tuned!
