Ready to Go! The Greater Dayton RTA will be providing free bus rides, the Dayton, Ohio - City Government has opened the Dayton Convention Center garage and once you get here, Gest Carts will be helping shuttle volunteers and guests to the event in comfort and style.

Come on down to the Feast of Giving from 11 am to 2 pm Thanksgiving Day and enjoy a free meal, live music and a sense of community. Rumor has it that Santa may even be making an appearance as he is in the area for the Holiday Festival Friday!

"Globe really saved our bacon." No, we won't be serving bacon at tomorrow's Feast of Giving, but this is what Mark, the Dayton Convention Center executive chef told me yesterday, referring to Globe Food Equipment Company of Moraine. Turkey carving was originally estimated at 2+ days, but was finished in six hours thanks to Globe's generous and timely loan of five commercial meat slicers.

We've got 7,000 servings of Cooper Farms turkey going into the oven tomorrow morning. Come on down from 11 am to 2 pm Thanksgiving Day and enjoy a free meal, live music and a sense of community.
