“We launched Dayton Summerfest to unite Daytonians in community and celebrate the end of summer,” said Kim Bramlage, former club president and lead planner for the event. “Last year was a lot of fun and this year is shaping up to be even better! We hope you will come out and join us to close out the summer in style.”
