An awesome spectacle and an awesomely short-lived road side attraction! The Deeds Carillon, the largest carillon in Ohio had been transformed into the shape of a holiday tree towering 200 feet in the air and glowing with 20,000 white lights. The plan was for the Carillon Tree of Light to be turned on nightly through New Year’s Day and be accompanied by the bells playing a medley of holiday classics on the hour. I went on Sunday night and stood in wonderment of the melodic bells and the strands of light enhancing the already majestic silhouette of the carillon. Overnight, wind gusts in excess of 40 or even 50 miles per hour damaged many of the strands of light. By morning, the damage was such that the display was beyond repair and will now be taken down for the year. Quite a whirlwind tale for the inaugural lighting of the the Deeds Carillon. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/602974/1bde6740-b5fa-43fc-b571-ebd54e17edb1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![The view of the Dayton skyline from Lookout Tower - the highest point in the city - during the Great Dayton Flood of 1913, it became a place of refuge.
