We are a non-profit organization formed by a group of volunteers who come together annually in Downtown Dayton to promote businesses, brands, and products. We strive to celebrate the city's heritage, and support the growth of the Dayton community by sponsoring and organizing an annual Ole Tyme Days Festival.
