Starting the New Year Right.

by TK-Bear on Sun Jan 17, 2010 6:25 pm
Thank you to all who came out and made the trip to the Winter Social. It was great to see all in person out side of an event, and attendance like we had is what makes these events what they are. There will be a large amount of trooping events in the new year such as OhayoCon, The Hockey Game in Youngstown, the Dayton Metro Library Event, Techfest in Dayton, and so much more.

Also keep in mind that with February 1st comes a new election year so be sure to keep up to date on the Members only section of the message boards.

Happy Holidays from your very own Ohio Garrison! Please be sure to have a safe, enjoyable, and memorable holiday with friends and family, and stay tuned to the boards for information on an upcoming Winter Social, Ohayo Con in January, and planning information for Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando Florida.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

by TK-Bear on Fri Nov 27, 2009 10:13 pm
I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving with their families and friends, and survived Black Friday Festivities. Don't forget that the Star Wars in Concert event is just around the corner, as well as many other great events such as a Westerville Holiday parade. While the holidays tend to be a slow time you should always be able to find a good event in the events section to attend.

Looking for something to do other than Dragon Con? How about something to do after you get home from Dragon Con? Then you should come on down and check out the Cincinnati Pops on September 11th through the 13th, as the Garrison will be helping out with the show. Good times and fun for the whole family.
