PADDLESPORTS SPECIALTY SHOP IN DAYTON SINCE 1994 Whitewater Warehouse is urban Dayton’s source for river-sport gear, classes, and community. Open since 1994, their shop at 104 Valley Street serves the urban river crowd throughout the season. DaytonCREATE caught up with owner Jeryl Yantis to see what he thinks about Dayton.
DaytonCREATE is a community empowerment organization helping to connect people and ideas throughout the Dayton-Yellow Springs-Springfield region.
We are working to build vitality back into our communities, back into our regional economy, and back into our individual lives.
To do this, we need to recognize our regional assets and build upon the good. We need to speak out about the issues that matter to us. We need to have a dialogue with others whose ideas are different than our own. And we need to get out and participate.
For more information on our beginnings and how to get involved with area projects, read the about page. We are all volunteers around here, and we need you!
