We’ve made it 12 years and we’re celebrating! Finally, a 12 year old’s birthday party you’ll wanna be at. Starting Saturday at 12, Jeremy and Nick will help us set sail with Yacht Rock and drink specials.
We will be tapping and releasing 2 beers during the day. ISO Hell, our Hazy Imperial IPA and Jalle Berry, our collab with Brewfontaine. A Jalapeno Raspberry Pale Ale.
Scotty Houchens and Tori Lee will be making the transition from DJ’s to live music from 6-8. Don’t worry, the plan is to keep us sailing into the night with more of your Dad’s favorite tunes.

King’s in Memphis. Doug released his debut album “Reckless Life” in 2005, with a follow-up in progress. The current DHB lineup includes Rob Thaxton on bass and Craig Comer on drums, promising a dynamic blues/rock experience.

Heidi Brueckner and Jennifer Scheuer Exhibits
2025-07-01 | Galleries at Sinclair College, 444 W. Third St., Bldg. 13, Dayton, OH, 45402
The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present work by Heidi Brueckner and Jennifer Scheuer in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery and Works on Paper Gallery. Inspired by observing others as a way to understand ourselves, Brueckner creates intricate portraits filled with color, pattern, texture, and a variety of recycled materials. These works produce narratives which explore personage through self-presentation, facial expressions, and gesture. They inspect the under-revered and appreciate the subject’s presence and dignity, not only honoring the individual, but the earth and humanity as a whole. Scheuer addresses ideas of healing, the body, plants, and the history of medicine through printmaking. Much of her work responds to the historical idea of the Doctrine of Signatures, which suggests visual or sensory properties of plants correlate to healing properties. Additionally, she explores sequential imagery, narrative complexity, and play through artist books with their interactive, sculptural, and time-based qualities. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from July 1–August 9, 2025. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays.
