Celebrities spotted at Oregon District bar
From Kelli Wynn, Dayton Daily News reporter
My father (James Wynn) will never forget his first dining experience at Sidebar in the Oregon District.
While we were eating our Father’s Day Brunch meal, comedian Dave Chappelle ran (literally) by our table, followed by two young boys. He left the restaurant and bar and took a stroll outside. All while sipping out of a latte mug.
The celebrity parade continued when Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire showed up for a gathering that was taking place in the party room.
My father couldn’t stop grinning as he wrapped up his Huevos Rancheros. We joked about the fact that we saw two celebrities in Dayton in such a short time period. Our high was deflated a little when we realized we had a cell phone camera on the table the whole time, but forgot to use it.
Oh well, at least we have our mental snapshots of a moment we will never forget.
Needless to say, my father had a great Father’s Day.
