Beware of Spam and Scams!

Posted on by
Lately, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of scams and spam calls coming to my phone and wanted to share some information with you all.There are many scams out there, many of which take place over the phone. The calls are designed to scare you or trick you into thinking you’ve been hacked, a payment was missed, or someone made a purchase on one of your accounts.Here are a few examples of these calls:

  • Amazon/Apple Scam – You get a call from someone claiming to represent Amazon or Apple, and the recording asks you to press one to speak to a representative. If you do so, the person on the phone then asks you to share your credit card information, passwords, or other personal information they can use against you.

This Day in History – November 6th, 1967

Posted on by
Phil Donahue’s talk show premiered November 6, 1967 on WLWD-TV in Dayton. The first guest to appear on the show was atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair.

Considered to be a pioneer of the genre, Donahue’s show included controversial topics and had audience involved in the story, interacting with the host and guest and often asking questions.

Born and raised in Cleveland, Donahue moved to Dayton to host a phone-in radio show called Conversation Piece. This show aired from 1963 until the start of his show in 1967.

The Phil Donahue Show was later syndicated and went on to be the most watched syndicated talk show in 1980. The show won twenty Emmy awards and was inducted into the national Television Hall of Fame. The show ran in syndicate for twenty-six years, finally dipping in rates when other talk shows chose more inflammatory topics, while Donahue strayed away from the shock tactics. When the show ultimately went off the air in 1996, it had aired nearly 7,000 episodes in total.

Stillwater Christmas Bazaar

We finally got to attend an event this year! We told you about the Stillwater Christmas Bazaar a few weeks ago and we went and had such a great time!

We loved all of the different crafts and products, and we saw a few familiar faces (we’re looking at you, Lindsey @ Yellowquil). Check out the pictures below!

Also, for the first time in over 25 years, the Holiday Bazaar at Be Hope Church (formerly Beavercreek Church of the Nazarene) is cancelled. We are so sad we won’t be able to attend this, as it is one of our favorite holiday events.

World A’Fair 2020 is Cancelled

Posted on by
With so many events cancelled this year, we were probably the most sad that World A’Fair was first postponed, then fully cancelled.

We have been attending this event for several years, and can’t wait to attend again, hopefully next year.

Please enjoy some pictures from previous years!
