Milford, OH

Saturday my family participated in an outreach event to help some folks in Miami Township Ohio to have a great Saturday.. First, we met at our church (Rivertree) in Milford to pray, pack and prepare for the event. This event was a Block Party for an apartment complex in the area. Once we got there we divided up the work in teams and everyone pitched in. We grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, had chips, cookies, drinks and other snacks. Another set of volunteers prepared a table full of free toys to hand out to the kids. Another group organized a face painting booth while others cleaned the tennis court that we were holding the event in. There were probably about 75 volunteers total including kids and adults. About 100 residents came out to participate in the event. We just gave everything away to show God's love in a small practical way as a "kindness" outreach. I hope we can do another one again soon!

On Saturday I had the privilege of going to an outreach event with my family in support of those less fortunate in Over the Rhine, Ohio, a part of downtown Cincinnati Ohio that has received its fair share of bad press over the years. The event started at 11am and offered the community a block party atmosphere and a chance to get some free food, toys for the kids, bags of groceries, clothing, treats and more.

We also had set up about 15 sets of corn hole boards, crochet, and places to sit and eat. Our volunteers cooked about 500 hamburgers and hot dogs, passed out chips and sweets, bottled water and cool aid. We had roving clowns and other helpers to assist where needed. My son Montana was helping other kids there by doing face painting. He is only seven! One of my other sons Maxwell was just having fun as a five year old can. My niece Melissa was also helping with the face painting. My sister Melanie helped with the children by keeping an eye on them and even helping feed a baby there while her mom took a break. My wife Jessica passed out helium balloons in front of the event and even prayed for some folks that came. I was dressed up as "skeeter" a juggling clown along with others. It was really nice to give back to the community and help my children learn that it is more blessed to give than receive.

If you have any direct needs or questions, please don't hesitate to call me directly at 513-478-3794. I can also refer you to a lender to get a great interest rate on your home.

Have a great day!

Milford Ohio is an eastern suburb of Greater Cincinnati, Ohio and is in Clermont County Ohio. There are many ways to get there from downtown Cincinnati including a highway route from I-471 to I-275 or I-71 North to I-275 South. You can also take the old state route 50 that goes right through downtown and connects all the way to Milford and beyond. This road is similar to that of RT 66 as it connects Washington DC and the Capital buildings all the way to California. There is some interesting history here on Rt 50. It is really neat that I live right off of this road about 1 mile.

The town of Milford is a historic one and contains many older shops and storefronts. The following contact information was taken from the Milford Website:

The City of Milford
745 Center Street, Suite 200 Milford, OH 45150

Tel: 513-831-4192 • Fax: 513-248-5096

There is a really neat photo slide show on their site that takes you through the old town and the bike trail. I would recommend a view at that here:

There is also a really neat video tour and informational documentary here!

The scenic Little Miami River runs right through the town and a great bridge passes over that you can walk, drive or bike over. This connects to the Little Miami River Bike trail that runs all the way up the state of Ohio. We often enjoy riding bikes from here to Loveland.

One of the neat things about the community is the different areas that are all considered Milford. You have the historic town, shops and restaurants but then you can go 2 miles and get to all the new modern shopping, theaters, chain dining and recreational sports. This area has homes from about $75,000 all the way up to $1,500,000. We have been fortunate to live, work and sell homes here since about 1976!

If you have any specific questions about this area feel free to contact me at 513-732-2720.

Have a great day!

If you are anthing like me, you appreciate a good deal-especially when you are taking the kids for a night out. Eating out can be expensive for a large family, so here is some news that just might be music to your ears.

Last week, we took the kids out for the evening. First, we took them to pet the farm animals in Anderson, and then, we took them out to eat at IHOP in Miami Township.

IHOP is offering free meals for kids from 4-10PM, seven days a week through the summer. For every adult meal that is purchased, a child can eat free!

The Mulberry location of Goldstar Chili offers a "Kids eat free" night every Tuesday after 4PM, while Skyline Chili offers the same on Wednesday nights at the Mulberry location. Every adult who purchases a meal can get a free kid's meal for a child who accompanies them. Skyline and Goldstar offer this deal every week.

What great deals for families in Miami Township and surrounding areas!
