Warming up for the 2010 Convention in Dayton!
(Your background is the view from Carillon Park. The Dayton Marriott is near the right bank.)
Look for this scenic among the photos in the Webmaster's Carillon Park Visit in 2003.

Look for tours of the AirForce Base Museum (largest in the country) and Carillon Park (with Wright Brothers 1905 Flyer) around Aug 4th, if you arrive a day early, or visit on your own (Carillon is walking distance from the hotel with ample sidewalks) if you have free time on the weekend. There are also other experiences in SW Ohio, such as the Six Flags Amusement Park - Kings Island, Boomerang Bay, or Major League Baseball. (REDS). There is also a symphony and ballet, comedy clubs, a playhouse, arena, plus a modest nightlife, in a well maintained city that is technically savvy. Dayton has a LOT of culture for such a small city. With the University of Dayton only a block away, behind the Marriott, the choice of restaurants is more than adequate, in the college square, and shopping is also in easy reach.

The Wright Patterson AFB Museum, on the west side of Dayton is generally FREE and open to the public. Some areas charge, such as IMAX. You will need to pre register if you wish to go onboard 60's era AirForce One. Carillon Park generally closes daily at 5pm, but will remain open until 8pm on Aug 5th. If wanting to see, I'd suggest blocking at least 3 hours, as there is more than initially meets the eye. It is generally $8 for an adult to attend if not in a group. Carillon will be completely remodeled and have a great expanded 1940's era restaurant to enjoy this summer, which makes the 1/2 mile walk down worth it. See the Carillon Video to learn more about it.

BTW, the University of Dayton is practically next door to the hotel, and so is the Dayton Daily News. Dayton is only 50 miles north of Cincinnati. Many major corporations, some involved in aeronautics, call Dayton home. One of the biggest corporations is the National Cash Register Company, right across the street from Carillon Park.

For our 2010, and this important year for the Ohio Chapter, we wanted to remind users of the
importance of the Wright Brothers and their extreme achievements and how it relates to our Mars Efforts today.

You can watch a remake of the historical Wright Brothers flyer right HERE,
or browse related videos from the media insert. Check all these links out! Enjoy!

BELOW is a GREAT YouTube video about Dayton's Carillon Park! (Same as one on Home Page.)
It is within walking (hiking) distance of the Marriott Convention Hotel.

This is where the 1905 Wright Flier is housed, and it is the only one you can look at close-up!
You can look at the Dayton Historical Page, where the webmaster found the video link.
For those wishing to make a pilgrimage to the Wright Brothers achievements, this adds to your trip.
The webmaster's video is of slightly higher quality than the one on their history page because
he captured the embedding directly from YouTube for a bigger playback screen.

Carillon Park, with the 1905 Wright Flyer is about 1/2 miles south the Marriott Convention Hotel. (Walking distance)
