Thanks to the Barnes family for all the times we enjoyed at their Dairy Queen. Best one around. Come from the Miamisburg swimming pool and have a cone.
Remember the first one across the street. Had my token from school for a free cone. Bless our little town and people like this.

Thank you for my first cone to the last. You gave pleasure to all of the Miamisburg children with our free cone when school ended for summer.

Worked many years at Dairy Queen. Both Lex and Barb were great bosses and showed me many life lessons along with personal support. Never to be forgotten.
