Dayton Daze
DAYTON — The Chief Cliff Volunteer Fire Department is traveling back to the fifties this Sept. 9 for the 26th annual Dayton Daze celebration. “Fired Up for the Fifties” is the theme of this year’s fundraiser and everyone is encouraged to dress up and join in the fun. Because you can’t revisit the ‘50s without a few cherry hotrods, we’re bringing back the car show, along with our ever-popular parade (line-up at 1 p.m., parade at 2 p.m. and prizes for best floats and costumes), live music by Larry Myer, flea market, kids’ games, face-painting, firefighter competitions, free blood pressure screenings, food and frozen treats, a shuttle to the Mission Mountain Winery, the Dayton Harbor (for free sailboat rides) and to historic sites in Proctor. To cap off the event, we’ll be raffling off a gorgeous, lever-action Henry Big Boy .44 mag (or $500 cash), and gift cards for gas and groceries and more. (Tickets available from all CCVFD members and at the Farmers’ Market in Polson.) Drawings for prizes will be held throughout the day, with the BIG prize drawings at 5 p.m. The fun starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9, at the Dayton Park. Come support the Chief Cliff Volunteer Fire Department and QRU at this community-wide event. For more information, call 406-849-5917.
