Dan Patch Days 2008 ~ Best Ever

This is the event that is celebrated once a year in the city of Savage, MN.  The event attracts over 10,000 people from all over the region.  In 2005, there was a "first ever" event in which descendants of Dan Patch, as well as members of the Savage family attended both Saturday and the Sunday parade.  Read more about this in two articles (1) (2) that were published in the Savage Pacer and check out the pictures at the Dan Patch Days website.  The Dan Patch Historical Society participates with a booth to educate and to answer questions about the history of Dan Patch and MW Savage.
