From the Back Cover:

Enjoy a welcome change of pace and discover a world you may not know exists in your own backyard. Day Trips describes hundreds of fascinating and exciting things to do, many free of charge and most within a two-hour drive of Cincinnati. Celebrate Annie Oakley Days in Greenville, Ohio, where you'll see fast-draw shooting contests, mounted shooting teams, parades, and Miss Annie Oakley, crowned for her deadly aim.
Trot over to Churchill Downs for Louisville's annual Kentucky Derby complete with two full weeks of festivities, including art shows, music events, the Great Steamboat Race, and the Pegasus Parade.
Follow the boardwalk through Ohio's Cedar Bag, a nature preserve where time stands still and a unique miniclimate has preserved "ancient" flora and fauna as they appeared 18,000 years ago.
Each day trip includes travel directions, destination highlights, other places to visit along the way, choice restaurants and lodging (including price ranges), and shopping.
