Good morning, Preble County. The future of aviation is taking shape just next door, with Butler County's ambitious $15 million flight school reaching new heights—literally. The project recently celebrated its "topping out" ceremony, where students and officials signed the final steel beam before it was hoisted into place. When completed in 2026, this 30,000-square-foot facility will transform from blueprint to launchpad for 200 aspiring pilots, engineers, and aviation maintenance specialists throughout the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton regions.
While some dreams soar skyward, others are unfolding right here on the ground. This Saturday's Community Fun Fest brings free family entertainment to downtown Eaton from 3-7 PM, complete with K-9 demonstrations and live music from The Flannels. And if you're hunting for bargains, Trotwood's citywide garage sale offers the perfect opportunity to turn one person's clutter into your treasure—proving that sometimes the best deals aren't found in retail stores but in your neighbors' driveways.
