SUMMARY:Capitol Fools
DESCRIPTION:What happens when Washington\, D.C.’s premier\, political satire group – the Capitol Steps – call it quits after nearly 40 years? Most folks would agree that it was a great run\, and the story would end there. \nBut an intrepid group of cast members and a co-writer would not go quietly into that good night. This band of fools reflected on a world without musical\, political satire\, and didn’t like what they saw. And just like that the CAPITOL FOOLS were born. \nWhile foolish enough to embark on this new journey\, they were smart enough to not reinvent the wheel. Fast-paced\, laugh out loud show? Check. Equal opportunity offenders? Check. Skewering both sides of the aisle? Check. If a “Steps-style show” is wrong\, they don’t want to be right. \nThe CAPITOL FOOLS hold up a mirror to our crazy political culture\, providing hilarious song parodies and foolish reflections that continue to inspire belly-laughter. Audiences will continue to see cast members from past seasons of the Capitol Steps performing all the beloved bits\, the mind-boggling backward talking spoonerisms\, break-neck costume changes\, over-the-top impressions\, and all-new song parodies reflecting the day’s news. They will give you a memory that will last a lunch time. The spirit\, irreverence and DNA of the Capitol Steps lives on with the CAPITOL FOOLS!

SUMMARY:Steinholding Competition
DESCRIPTION:The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) will host its annual Oktoberfest celebration\, presented by Miller Lite\, on the museum grounds from September 27 to September 29. This year\, the festival will hold its first Steinholding Competition on Sunday\, September 29\, 2024\, at 2 p.m. in front of the main museum entrance \n  \nMasskrugstemmen\, or beer Steinholding\, is a relatively new sport in America\, but its popularity has quickly grown. During this traditional Bavarian strength contest\, competitors hold a full one-liter beer stein (or Masskrug in German) out in front of their bodies with a straight arm parallel to the ground. Competitors hold the stein up as long as possible\, and the winner is the last person holding with good form. The glass stein weighs approximately 5 pounds when full. \n  \nFor the first year\, the DAI will bring this longstanding sport to their Oktoberfest celebration as an official U.S. Steinholding Association qualifying event. The DAI’s inaugural Steinholding competition will begin with the women’s category competition\, followed by the men’s. There is no cost to compete; however\, all competitors must have valid admission to the Oktoberfest festival and register for the competition at www.daytonartinstitute.org/oktoberfest-steinholding-competition. Winners from both the men’s competition and the women’s competition will be eligible to compete in the U.S. Steinholding Association Ohio State Championships\, held on Saturday\, October 12\, 2024\, at Moerlein Lager House in Cincinnati. \n  \nThe U.S. Steinholding Association was founded in 2015 with the goal to build a central informational source for athletes everywhere to discover the sport. Quickly\, the association has grown and spread across the country as it has continued to expand its services. Those interested in learning more about the U.S. Steinholding Association and the rules of Steinholding can access more information at www.ussteinholding.com. \n  \nAdvance general admission tickets for Oktoberfest (Saturday/Sunday) are $8 adults\, $5 seniors and youth (ages 7–18). Tickets purchased at the gate are $10 adults\, $7 seniors and youth. Children 6 and under are free. Guests may purchase a weekend pass\, allowing them to attend the festival on both Saturday and Sunday at a discounted price of $15. Advance General Admission tickets may be purchased online at www.daytonartinstitute.org/oktoberfest or at the Dayton Art Institute during regular museum hours. \n  \nFor more information about Oktoberfest\, including volunteer opportunities at this year’s festival\, go to daytonartinstitute.org/oktoberfest.

SUMMARY:Justin Willman: Illusionati Tour
DESCRIPTION:JUSTIN WILLMAN: ILLUSIONATI TOUR is an interactive evening of magic\, comedy and mind-control for the whole family. Prepare to join a secret society of wonder where the only conspiracy theories are about how the hell he does these things. \nJustin Willman wants to melt your brain while making you laugh. He’s best known as the star and creator of the hit Netflix series “Magic For Humans” and “The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman.” But you may recognize him from one of his many television appearances (“The Tonight Show\,” “The Today Show\,” “The Kelly Clarkson Show\,” “Conan”). Or maybe you know his work as a host (“Baking Impossible;” “Cupcake Wars;” “Win\, Lose or Draw”). Or maybe he’s the child magician you hired in suburban St. Louis in the ‘90s. If you don’t know Justin\, he’s a magician and comedian who’s mastered the art of turning cynics into believers (or at least getting them to laugh). \nJustin is also a proud father\, a loving husband\, and has zero experience as a licensed boat mechanic (that’s a different Justin Willman).

SUMMARY:Kintsugi Breast Cancer Photo Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library will host the Kintsugi Breast Cancer Photo Exhibit in the Main Library’s Opportunity Space at St. Clair from Monday\, September 30 through Friday\, October 11\, with a special reception on Thursday\, October 3\, from 5:30-7 pm in the Opportunity Space as well. \n  \nThe exhibit features breast cancer survivors from the Dayton area\, and patrons will be able to hear behind the scenes details about the exhibit at this reception\, as well as survivors sharing their stories and experiences. Resources for those who may be experiencing breast cancer will also be available. Organizations on hand will include Breast Wishes; Pink Ribbon Good; Noble Circle; The Well; Center for Women’s Wellness; and Christina Siegel R.N.\, B.S.N.\, Tattoo Nipple Fairy. \n  \nThe Kintsugi Breast Cancer Photo Exhibit was created by Carolyn Reveal\, a two-time breast cancer survivor. Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese art that takes something broken and puts it back together using a precious metal\, such as gold – thus an object’s breakage becomes part of its history\, not something to disguise. Inspired by this art\, Reveal and other survivors have used it as a healing tool. \n  \nPatrons who visit this exhibit will see how breast cancer has been used to create something stronger and more beautiful and are reminded that this exhibit may include personal and sensitive images and text. \n  \nFor more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.

SUMMARY:Learning to Love Your Enemies
DESCRIPTION:Giulia Nesi Tetreau\, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker\, will present her talk\, “Learning to Love Your Enemies\,” on October 5 at 11:00am at the Dayton Main Library. \nThe talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible\, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings\, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free\, open to the community\, and hosted by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Dayton. \n“Is someone in your life hard to love?” asks Ms. Tetreau. “Loving others\, including those who may feel like enemies\, can sometimes feel impossible. Christian Science proves that loving your enemy is not only possible\, it is natural. But what does it look like to lead with Love\, instead of hate? The study of this divine Science and answering Christ Jesus’ call to ‘love your enemies’ in your life replaces anger\, hurt\, and injustice with forgiveness\, freedom\, and peace.” \nSharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science\, Ms. Tetreau will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific\, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves\, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement\, Mary Baker Eddy. \nMs. Tetreau will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy\, who came to understand\, confirm\, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand\, “He that believes on me\, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do\, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). \nFor over 150 years\, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today\, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties. \nGiulia Nesi Tetreau has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years\, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. She travels from her home base in Fairfield\, Connecticut\, USA\, to speak to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
