Rally participants depart the school house grounds at 3 p.m. after receiving a photo sheet depicting a dozen or so mystery locations.  While there are no anticipated costumed interpreters in this year’s rally, the photo “theme” is historic and “experienced” buildings in Bath in anticipation of Bath’s 2018 Bicentennial.Following the return of all participants from their sojourn through the highways and byways of Bath, dinner will be served in the tent on the schoolhouse grounds, with prizes awarded for the most locations found and accurately identified with addresses.
Cost for the road rally is $10 per vehicle, regardless of size, number of occupants or wheels on the vehicles; dinner is $10 per person and $5 for children under age 12.
Registration for the road rally and the dinner is required by September 6. Registration forms are available here or at The Bake Shop in Ghent, 800 Wye Road, after August 21. For details, call 330-666-3347.

Dennis Blocker has dedicated years into researching this book about World War II and Iwo Jima, specifically the story of the crew of Landing Craft Infantry 449. He traveled across the United States where he was able to interview men who knew his grandfather and had served with him in the Navy. The research has spanned over 14 years and has seen over 100 people interviewed. The research brought to light an amazing tale that had never been covered in detail. With these interviews and hundreds of WWII era letters in hand Dennis approached author Mitch Weiss and asked if he would consider writing the book. The next two years saw great collaboration between these two men and the result is a fabulous manuscript that will astound.

His research revealed a connection to Bath Township in Leroy Young, a Bath Schools alumni.


Dennis is the Pacific War Historian for the National LCI Association and is affiliated with the National Museum of the Pacific War, working with the museum in preserving history. Mitch Weiss is a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist for The Associated Press.

The Golden Age of Restaurants , presented by Sharon Myers

The Golden Age of Restaurants, presented by Sharon Myers

Join us on May 18, Wednesday at 7 p.m. for this wonderful presentation.

"As far back as the 1920’s, the Akron area was known as a restaurant town. The heyday was in the 1950’s and 60’s. The restaurant scene was booming in the 1940’s despite food rationing and labor shortages because of World War II. In 1951, Kenny Nichols, Akron Beacon Journal columnist, said that it would be possible to feed 30,000 people at one time in Akron restaurants.

The golden age continued into the 1960’s, but casual restaurants were coming into their own with dozens of fast-food restaurants and more and more drive-in restaurants. Restaurant food declined in quality as owners embraced the convenience-food trend.

The golden age ended in the 1970’s and a new generation of restaurants began taking the place.
"
From The Golden Age of Restaurants in Su
mmit County; a History by Sharon Moreland Myers, 2015.

The presentation will be held at the Bath Museum, no charge.
