OHIO CITY — The third full weekend of July means one thing in Ohio City \u2013 Lambert Days. The annual celebration will be held this Thursday through Sunday, July 17-20 at the Ohio City Fireman\u2019s Park and Community Building on Ohio 118 on the north side of the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual celebration honors American automotive pioneer John Lambert, whose Lambert gasoline buggy was the first practical gasoline-powered automobile available for sale in America. He initially designed and built his vehicle in 1890 and successfully tested it in January of 1891 inside an 80-foot-long farm implement showroom he owned in Ohio City.<\/p>\n\n\n
