D & D Classic Auto Restoration
- D & D Classic Auto Restoration, a restoration shop for antique automobiles, antique airplanes & antique motorcycles, has won national awards for their outstanding work & are famous among the elite of their industry for restoration of pre-war Rolls Royce, Bentley & many fine classic automobiles. In 1987 D & D was given the opportunity to restore a 1937 Bentley & it was shown extensively throughout the Unites States at all major Concours D'Elegance shows. Since then they have become well known for their skills. Classic automobiles hold great appeal because of their individualism. From about 1915 through the 1940s, many autos were handbuilt by craftsmen of extreme skill. D&D employs those same philosophies & techniques as when these great cars were originally built. Their goal is to produce the finest restorations using a huge network of specialists & excellent craftsmen. They are happy to accommodate groups. Amount of time depends on group size, number of questions & interest level. 30 day notice required. Visitors are not permitted to touch the vehicles. Contact: Roger James 937/473-2229 Address: |

Fort Rowdy Gathering
- With the hovering lights of campfires, frontier enthusiasts gather in groups to play guitars, drums and washboards--much like people of the small trading villages of the 1800's. Named in honor of General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, who founded a piece of land that would one day become Covington. The Fort Rowdy Gathering is a celebration of the rough roots of western Miami County and the Stillwater region. The weekend begins with an old-fashioned hometown parade on Saturday, but the highlight of this festival is the mountain man encampment located in the woods along the State Scenic Stillwater River. Visitors will enjoy the free live concerts on the main stage located in the Village area in the park. You will find plenty of homemade food prepared by the non-profit organizations of the area.
