18TH ANNUAL

RINGING IN THE HOLIDAYS 2012

CARILLON PARK

Walking in to Christmas Carollers & Displays and Displays of Gorgeous & Delicious Food!

Endless Food Bars including Macaroni & Crepe Stations!

I had the honor to be a "celebrity judge" for the Delightful Dessert Contest at the 18th annual "Ringing in the Holidays" at Carillon Park in Dayton Ohio! This mean- I got to sample and re-sample (and cont.) the most delicious desserts from around the Miami Valley! Hardest Part was judging the best desert!

My personal favorite (which won Critics Choice) was the mini cupcakes from "The Cakery"..

They included miniature edible bicycles to decorate!

You can't go wrong with a bicycle theme when you're talking about Dayton's History! (Wright Brothers!)

My favorite display was the Ice Sculpture- in shape of a Wright Brother's Bicycle!!!

Not only was it GORGEOUS, but USEFUL!

It was used to funnel Pomegranate Martinis w Raspberry Garnish!

Clever Idea Donated by Freund, Freeze & Arnold!

Nice meeting you Nicole & Mark!

Refreshing!

Most importantly, we hope Carillon Park made lots of money at the Silent Auction!

Brady, Hope the fundraising went well!

Nice Meeting you Dana! (your son has yet to start at WHIO)

Go History! Dayton History!

Irony? I got to meet a co-worker of mine! For the first time at the fundraiser! ha!

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of such a beautiful event!

ELECTION NIGHT 2012

Columbus, Ohio

WHIO TV Reporter/Anchor Yuna Lee

My photographer Chuck Hamlin and I headed to cover Election Night at the Renaissance Columbus.

We were partnered up with the Ohio Republican Party, while Jim Otte and Bob Garlock were with the Democrats.

After stopping by at the "Panda" in Springfield to grab a quick bite, we arrived on the Media Platform!

Thanks to our wonderful, Jim Otte, who had reserved us the BEST SPOT in the House!

Not much energy throughout the night, as Republicans lost the U.S. Senate Race in Ohio...

and then the Presidential Race.

U.S. Senate Candidate, Josh Mandel... after a long campaign season.
