Hey pallies, likes today's Dino-gram is an update on Dino-fest 2012 to be held in our most beloved Dino's hometown of Stuebenville, Ohio on June 14-16. From the on-line presense of Stu-ville's news, "The Herald-Star," comes the low down on all the Dino-happenin's durin' this annual weekend of Dino-homagin'.

From the pen of The Herald-Star's staff writer Mr. Mark J. Miller comes commentary from Spot Bar's owner, JoJo DiAlbert, notin' that..."Tom Stevens is back by popular demand," said DiAlbert of the Dino impersonator. "He hasn't been to the festival in three years."

The Sunday of the fest has been declared "The Dean Martin Hometown Celebration Day,"
with highlights includin' tours thorughout the day of the brand new "Dean Martin Room" at the Jefferson County Historical Museum and a 10:30 a.m. Mass is set to remember Dean Martin at the Holy Name Cathedral.

Certainly does wish that I was able to make pilgrimage to Dino-mecca for this year's fest....to walk where Dino walked....to breath the air that Dino breathed. Anywho, ilovedinomartin expresses our Dino-appreciato to Mr. Mark J. Miller and the pallies at The Hearld-Star for puttin' us all on to all these Dino-details.
