Hamilton's Oktoberfest hits 46 years old in 2011. It's one of Butler County's oldest German…read morefestivals and it shows -- this three-day event is authentic. The food is all homemade the week of the festival, including bratwurst, sauerkraut, potato salad, Limburger cheese (ekk, acquired taste there!!), cream puffs, sauerkraut balls, and cabbage rolls. My personal favorites are the last two listed. Like all Oktoberfest celebrations, there is a ton of beer and live bands singing German and "Germanized" versions of popular American music. But this festival also has Jägermeister and wine booths, tons of kids rides and games, and the keg-tapping of an authentic wooden keg from Munich. You will meet some of the most interesting people here with life stories to last weeks. I met a Yugoslavian man who was in concentration camps under Hitler when he was a boy. Great place to go with a large group of friends for a fill of German heritage without having to go all the way to Cincinnati.

Hey I thought this was a fabulous event and I wish it happened more than once a year! Very well…read moreattended and organized, huge variety of food trucks to choose from. Conveniently located (for me lol) and had a lot of parking, although they closed the lot after I came in which was weird. I went around lunch time and was able to be home within an hour! Please do this event more often!! I tried the following: AJ's Cheesesteaks - I've heard so much about how they're some of the best cheesesteaks in the area. The product was definitely quality and the bread was good, but all I could taste was the butter they put all over the bun, no cheese or steak flavor. The sandwich was also kind of small. I would try it again sometime, especially the fries, but tbh Penn Station is better for me. Fusako - I was really excited to try this truck. I guess the signature item was the wings or the hotdog, which sounded great but too heavy for me. I tried the street corn gyoza and it was $10 for 4 gyoza with some canned corn and mayo topping and regular dumplings...? I didn't get it. Shaken up Lemonade - I appreciated that this lemonade was not super sweet and it was a large portion. Refreshing! Naughty Lobster - The sandwich was good, I just got a plain one instead of experimenting. I think it's better than the corporate lobster truck that comes around here sometimes. Just be aware that the guy on the truck hits on everyone, regardless of gender or age, as part of the shtick. (: Looking forward to attending this event next time and hoping for more like it!

This place was packed and I wish they would do it once a month. I would so come back just try other things. As you can see in the pictures there are at least 50 food trucks. This is a foodies best day. If you haven't been here before, I highly recommend you come and enjoy a wonderful meal.

Parking near the site filled up fast and they also offered shuttle buses from Crossroads church parking lot. This park is beautiful. The grounds have little lakes with water features, plenty of open well groomed spaces, and the baseball field is gorgeous. The stands look to be newer and are comfortable and ample. At the concession stand there are free hot dogs, drinks, candy, and chips. There were probably over 25 foods trucks at this particular event and you got free tickets to use as you wanted. Some vendors such as the kettle corn, or the ice cream were free without tickets. You also had to option to purchase with card or cash when you used up your free food tickets, and tipping the food trucks was encouraged so bring cash. There were bounce houses for the kids, a mini t ball type field for kid play, and even a free book mobile. The security here is pretty strict and gives a great sense of safety. Only clear bags of a certain size are allowed, check the website for details. I was impressed by how organized everything was. Patrons were mostly well behaved however some became greedy over free items towards the end of the event. I will definitely look forward to coming back for more events in the future.

Charming & Timeless - A Gem in Middletown…read more The Sorg Opera House in downtown Middletown, Ohio, is a truly beautiful venue. While it could use a bit of repair and restoration in places, that doesn't take away from its unique charm and great atmosphere. We attended a concert there and were so pleased with the experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the setting really transports you back in time--this historic space, built in the late 1800s, has an old-world elegance that's hard to find these days.

As you walk the hallway to the theater space, you can feel the atmosphere. Then when you walk in to the theater, you are welcomed with an absolutely stunning view of the three+ floors of visual nirvana. The space is stunning and I'll be the first to admit that It for sure needs some serious TLC. As we talked to folks, they all state that you should have seen it before we started cleaning it up. It is a work in progress so things will get updated as they can. Once the lights dropped and the band started playing, the acoustics in this building was amazing!! We wandered around from the floor to second floor and the audio sounded phenomenal regardless of where you are seated. Dating myself here but I feel like Statler and Waldorf(muppets) should be heckling from the boxes. We will for sure go back. If it's cold outside, wear a jacket or bring a blanket as it gets kind of chilly in here. They are working in that too so that suggestion may no longer be needed.

Beautiful vineyard and scenery, but a very unexpected dinner experience…read more The vineyard was gorgeous, but unfortunately I didn't have much time to actually explore it. For $60+ per person with automatic gratuity, I felt like I was basically serving myself dinner and wine. On top of that, I was completely unaware that we would have to cook our own meat. (Which could be at fault on my end for not doing more research) While it was fun with a group of friends, the setup felt a little unsanitary, and the grill didn't seem hot enough. It took about 25 minutes for my filet to get rare enough to eat. The layout could be better--we were constantly walking through other people's dinner time to get to the food and wine. It's definitely very much a German style get-it-yourself dinner. The entire restaurant was also very smoky, so be prepared to leave smelling like you just sat around a campfire. The food was average at best, and the wine tasting wasn't really worth it to me--it was six small tastings served in plastic cups. That said, we had a great group and definitely gained an experience we can laugh about! I'd be interested in coming back on a Wednesday or Thursday when it isn't the "do-it-yourself" dinner setup. If I came back, though, I'd probably just drink wine and walk around the vineyard. The wine was great, and I would definitely drink again Definitely recommend bringing a fun group of people and keeping your food expectations low!
