Good morning, Preble County. Just when winter's grip seemed endless, the return of Middletown's Food Truck Fridays signals spring is truly on its way. The popular community gathering kicks off April 11 with "Game Night" at Sunset Park, introducing creative new themed evenings that promise to transform these monthly meetups into something beyond just delicious meals. From Symphony Night to a BBQ Throwdown, these events have become so anticipated that organizers field inquiries as early as January.
Meanwhile, accessibility takes center stage at Eaton's A.S.K. Playground with a new restroom facility designed for visitors of all abilities. The March 28 grand opening celebrates a community-funded project enhancing this inclusive space. On a cautionary note, area residents should be vigilant about phone scammers posing as Montgomery County Sheriff's employees demanding payments for supposed missed court dates—Sheriff Streck confirms his office never requests payment over the phone for unpaid fines.

🍔 Middletown's Food Truck Fridays return with exciting new themed nights. Starting April 11 with "Game Night" at Sunset Park, the popular community event enters its third year featuring 5-8 food trucks at each gathering. This year introduces themed evenings including Game Night, Symphony Night, Reds Night, Taste the Globe, and a BBQ Throwdown. Visitors can enjoy not only diverse food options but also entertainment like yard games, DJ music, and special activities tailored to each theme. The events run monthly from April through August, responding to overwhelming community demand that starts as early as January.
🚽 New accessible restroom opens at inclusive Eaton playground. The Preble County Board of Developmental Disabilities will host a grand opening for the facility at A.S.K. Playground on March 28. Funded through Community Development Block Grant and American Rescue Plan Act money, the restroom features multiple accessibility options for visitors of all abilities. PCBDD Superintendent Brian Green thanked county commissioners and community leaders for supporting the project. The board serves over 400 people of all ages throughout Preble County.
📱 Phone scammers are impersonating Montgomery County Sheriff's Office employees. The scammers tell residents they've missed court dates or have urgent legal matters, threatening arrest unless payments are made through platforms like PayPal or Apple Pay. Sheriff Rob Streck warns these convincing fraudsters use caller ID spoofing to appear legitimate, often posing as "Director Russell" from the office. Streck emphasizes that the sheriff's office will never demand payment or threaten arrest over the phone for unpaid fines or warrants. Residents are urged to verify any suspicious calls and report them to local police.
