- Montgomery County GOP at the Dayton Country Club, 555 Kramer Road in Dayton. Cost is $17.50 per person but reservations should be made by calling the party headquarters at 937-461-1776.
For those who want to say "Thank You" to President Barack Obama for his eight years of service, there will be a Happy Hour Reception hosted by the Butler County Democrats on Friday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Murphy's Landing, 6 S. Broad St. in Middletown. Organizers ask people to wear their Obama campaign shirts, hats, or buttons.
The Democratic Party said it will also ask people to sign up to join the “Trump Resistance Effort” at the event.
