Good morning, Preble County. Mark your calendars and prep your taste buds—July is shaping up to be a month of spectacular returns. West Alexandria's Peace Park will transform into celebration central for the Fourth, with vendors, food trucks, and a car show culminating in a lighted parade and fireworks display. Meanwhile, after perfecting her famous birria tacos through customer feedback, Middletown native Deshanae Lewis is bringing Taco Bout Crab back to eager fans, this time with rooftop seating and margaritas to complement those sought-after seafood boils.
The summer fun doesn't stop there. Young anglers can test their skills at the free Youth Fishing Derby at Crystal Lake, while movie buffs can float and watch "Moana 2" during the Dive-In Movie Night complete with water slides and foam cannons. Just note those bridge replacement projects on Pleasant Valley and Magill Roads—detours might be necessary on your way to summer adventures.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🎆 West Alexandria gears up for epic July 4th celebration. The Party in the Park will feature vendors, food trucks, and a car show from 1-7 p.m., culminating in a lighted parade at 9:30 p.m. and fireworks at 10 p.m. The community calendar is packed with additional events including an American Legion pork chop dinner on June 21, library activities throughout June and July, and a community church service on June 29. Local organizations like Alpha Kappa Sorority continue fundraising with their annual nut sale, while churches offer Bible schools, prayer meetings and women's gatherings throughout the summer.
🌮 Beloved taco and seafood restaurant returns to Middletown this July. Taco Bout Crab will share space with Middies Pub & Grub at 1045 Central Ave., reuniting with customers who've been requesting its comeback since its Tytus Avenue location closed. Owner Deshanae Lewis, a Middletown native, perfected her now-famous birria tacos through customer feedback after launching her restaurant business in 2020 following her father's death from COVID. The new location will feature rooftop seating, margaritas, and a menu of seafood boils, ramen, and various protein options in tacos, burritos and bowls.
📅 Preble County's summer calendar buzzes with community events. The Eaton Masonic Lodge will host a free Youth Fishing Derby at Crystal Lake on June 28 for children ages 4-13, with bait provided and prizes offered. Meanwhile, Eaton Parks & Recreation's Dive-In Movie Night on June 27 will feature "Moana 2" with water slides and a foam cannon at the Main Street Aquatic Center. Several local school boards have rescheduled their June meetings, including Eaton, Twin Valley, and National Trail. Road closures on Pleasant Valley Road and Magill Road will affect traffic for multiple weeks due to bridge replacement projects.
