DayGaCom is coming to Dayton, Texas, on May 7-9 and there will be tons of fun for the whole family. The event is being presented by the City of Dayton and is sponsored by the city s new fiber network, DayNet.
One of the featured attractions at the show will be live professional wrestling by Premier Event Wrestling Lucha Libre. The wrestling will happen all weekend long, but there will be an over-the-top-rope Battle Royal to determine the first-ever Dayton Wrestling Champion on Saturday evening. The match will start with multiple wrestlers inside the ring who will then attempt to throw each other over the top rope to the ground. Once both feet of a wrestler touch the ground, they are eliminated from the match. The match will continue until there is only one man left. The last man standing will be crowned the champion and will be awarded the title belt by City of Dayton Mayor Caroline Wadzeck in a brief ceremony following the match.
Former Dayton Mayor Steven Stephens addresses the city council about the Veteran’s Wall.The Vindicator | Travis Huffman
At the Dayton City Council meeting on Monday evening, former City of Dayton Mayor Steve Stephens addressed the council about the Veteran’s Wall in the Dayton Veteran’s Memorial Park. The park located at the Dayton Community Center was built in 2013 and experienced heavy damage during Hurricane Harvey. With a donation of $7,700 from Entergy Texas and a grant, the wall was repaired and restored. After the wall was repaired and rededicated, Stephens met with the Dayton City Manager, Theo Melancon, to discuss the bare spots on the wall and the possibility of grants to help fill the empty spots. Melancon and Dayton Mayor Caroline Wadzeck asked Stephens to obtain fifteen to twenty names to go on the wall and have them by November 15, 2019. Once that date hit, Stephens turned in over 200 names. The wall only had 83 bare spots, so there would be no way to accommodate
