Jennifer has never envisioned herself running the bakery. She’d gotten an engineering degree and had been working in that field for about 15 years in Michigan. But she was looking for a change, and her partner Matt Tepper, who was a city manager in the Detroit area, also felt the need for a change. So they both moved to Dayton and on Dec 17th of 2012 they reopened Evans Bakery. Jennifer felt inspired to restore the bakery and bring vibrancy to the neighborhood she’d grown up in.

Photos with Krampus. If you’re on the naughty list, you probably already know who this is. Krampus is a mythical fixture in several European countries this time of year. As part of the myth, Krampus has one night that he will take the children who are on the naughty list – Krampus Nacht – typically a few weeks before traditional Christmas Eve when the big man in a red suit comes. This year, Krampus will be seated on this throne in the Aleing Knight Pub in two shifts, 5:30 – 6:30pm and 7pm – 8pm. You can purchase a photo with Krampus and proceeds go towards the Found by Faith Food Pantry in Harveysburg. Remember, Krampus doesn’t speak – just one of his tall, dark, and mysterious qualities.
