Valley Daze will happen June 20-23. There will NOT be a parade this year (the Kiddie Parade WILL still happen) because of road construction. But many other events remain the same.
There again will be a Thursday evening family kickoff in the park, and a Business Expo Friday and Saturday. The craft fair and the car & tractor show are still being held. And, naturally, lots of food, entertainment and fun for the whole family.
The Valley Daze Committee is hard at work planning some new and exciting events for this year (in part to compensate for there being no parade this year). Watch for details here. Be sure to plan to come out and support Valley Daze, June 20-23!
