Willie overheard a fellow SCRABBLE player say she can't wait to get back to [http://www.youngsdairy.com/ Young's Dairy] for homemade ice cream. It is at 6889 Springfield-Xenia Rd., Yellow Springs, Ohio, only 30 minutes from the Convention Center. It is a working dairy farm/restaurant/bakery/minature golf/driving range and petting zoo. Watch out for those goats! They can get aggressive! But most important is their homemade ice cream. It is delicious! Saturday, Aug 1, is their 8th Antique/Vintage Truck Show as well so it may be more crowded than usual.
While you are so close to Yellow Springs you might as well visit the small, rather posh hippy community. Buy beads or flowers from people's front porches and enjoy delightful restaurants and shops.
=== Glen Helen Nature Reserve/Clifton Gorge/John Bryan State Park ===
While you are at Yellow Springs, don't miss going to The [http://www.greenecountyohio.org/outdoor_hiking.html John Bryan State Park] area where there is a lovely gorge, rock climbing, trail hiking and the Glen Helen Nature Center, Willie used to rock climb the wall but those days are over. It is a 30 minute drive from Dayton.
