“Giving someone a hand-picked gift from a local business or treating someone to a celebration at their favorite downtown restaurant or cafe is a special, personal touch to the gift-giving experience,” said Sandra K. Gudorf, president of the Downtown Dayton Partnership. “We wanted to make it easy for people to find that perfect downtown Dayton idea with these online resources.”
The Downtown Dayton Sidewalk Sale, taking place on Saturday, May 8 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., can also provide the perfect opportunity to celebrate your mom. This event will take place at several locations throughout downtown Dayton, including Front Street, Winans Chocolates and Coffees, Uno Pizzeria & Grill, Talbott Tower, the Fire Blocks district, the St. Clair Lofts, Olive Mediterranean Grill, the Oregon District, West Fifth Street and K12 Gallery & TEJAS.
