Lambert Days Celebration

     The Village of Ohio City is proud to  announce  the 42nd Annual Lambert Days Festival. This event occurs July 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th of this year. The village boasts a proud heritage of being the hometown of John W. Lambert. He is credited with inventing the first gasoline powered engine. He was born on January 29, 1860 and moved to Ohio City, formerly Enterprise, Ohio, when he was sixteen. Once here he formed the JW Lambert Co. with his father.
    He then began to work on his dream of a horseless carriage. He surmised that if he was able to produce the engine here in the states it would be a valuable transportation vehicle here in the USA. He ran many tests and in the course of his life held over 600 patents. He also gave Ohio City the distinction of being the site of the first auto accident. While running one of his tests in the secrecy of night he lost control and ran into a stump and then hit a hitching post.
    As a small town we are proud to call John Lambert one of our own. His determination and perseverance lives on in our community. We hold this 3 day festival to celebrate the heritage of the Lambert Spirit and encourage the folks who live not only in Ohio City but surrounding communities to become better neighbors and friends. What better way than a festival?
    The celebration includes a Little Miss Lambert Pageant, Car Show/Cruise In, Flea Market, community garage sales and a kid’s bouncy play area. The area includes blow up bouncy entertainment that can create many fun memories. Bring your kids and enjoy the fun. New to the festival this year is an electric bull riding attraction. Yes you heard right bull riding. Can you hold on for the ride of your life? Come find out.
    Festivities conclude Sunday with a parade celebrating the many social clubs, churches, and the good neighbors of our communities. Anyone wishing to enter cars and floats or general entry is encouraged to attend.

 Energy Depot for homes is a valuable tool that can give you some basic information on how much your appliances cost you or with some more answers to other questions can provide a more detailed analysis. Check it out. See where you can possibly save energy or cut energy costs in your home. Following is a brief explanation of how it works and a link isp rovided at the end of the article. 

How it Works

You'll be asked to enter 12 months of electricity and gas billing history for your home. You can enter as little as one month's billing data to generate a profile, and the system will estimate the rest for you. However, the more information you provide, the more comprehensive and accurate your profile will be.

The process takes about 10-25 minutes depending on the profile you select. Before you begin, make sure the profile is right for you. You can do sections of it now and return to it later, as the system will save the information you've entered. The profile has a security "time-out" feature, so you leave for more than ten minutes, you will need to login again with your user ID and password.

Your results
Once you've entered your responses, a report will be generated that:

• breaks down your electricity and gas consumption
• gives an overview of your appliance, heating, cooling and lighting costs
• provides advice on cost-saving measures you can do now

While the profile provides an accurate picture of your current energy use based on your consumption history, it cannot estimate future costs or savings from any changes you may make. Check out our Appliance Calculator, for estimated costs to operate various appliances and systems.
