🎬 Splash cinema

Preble County • July 8, 2025

​

Good morning, Preble County. Disney's Moana 2 made quite the splash at Eaton's Main Street Aquatic Center last week, where 600 community members transformed a typical pool day into a waterside cinema experience. Complete with waterslides, foam cannons, and free popcorn, the Dive-In Movie Night exemplifies how our local parks department continues creating those summer memories that stick with us long after the season fades.

The economic landscape continues to evolve around us, with a Washington-based investor making their Ohio debut through a $14.5 million Miamisburg industrial site purchase. Meanwhile, academic excellence shines at Miami University, which has secured a spot among the nation's top 35 public universities for value. The Princeton Review recognition highlights what many local families already know—Miami delivers impressive educational and career outcomes without the price tag of many private institutions.
