The Faerie Houses of Aullwood

Aullwood Audubon, 1000 Aullwood Road, Dayton, OH

Now through September

Check in with Guest Services at the nature center's front desk and pick up a questionnaire, then take an easy stroll around the paved Cardinal Trail to search for six charming faerie houses. Visitors will be guessing faerie hobbies. Each small faerie house is designed with many clues on and around it, giving you hints as to what hobby each faerie enjoys. Find each house, look for clues and put down your guess as to the hobby of the faerie who lives there. When you have completed your walk, return your questionnaire to the front desk and you may get a prize!  


Matilda The Musical

LaComedia Dinner Theatre, 765 W Central Ave, Springboro, OH

Now through August 10th

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence, and special powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her school teacher, Miss Honey, who recognizes her extraordinary personality. The school’s mean headmistress, however, hates children and loves to punish those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts and could be the students’ saving grace! Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
