Dan Patch Days 2010
|
|
The Annual Celebration was a challenging one this year. The events for Friday were canceled at the last minute due to weather. A dangerous wall cloud with linghtning, wind and rain shut down the event. Saturday was also challenging with the same weather hitting the park around 8:30pm in the middle of the free concert.
...but before the storm hit....there was fun in the park with the Dan Patch Historical Society hosting a trivia contest, and announcing the winner of the raffle.

Dan Patch Days ~ 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.
