NEW TODAY: Dayton gets ‘wild’ props after landing on National Geographic list
DLM officials say they’ve responded to customer demand by amping up the selection of savory foods to complement the sweet offerings. Attendees will receive a passport of sorts to have stamped as they make their way through the foods, pastries, wine, and beer highlighted from six different countries: France, Belgium, England, South Africa, Canada and the U.S. Upon completing the passport and acquiring all six stamps, attendees receive a commemorative Champagne flute.

“This winter has been never-ending, and we want to make sure this year’s Spring Fling will be a bright spot for every attendee,” the event founder, Jennifer Clark, said in a release. “We started with just pastry but have expanded this show to include a full-blown menu as well, so come for dinner and dessert.”
