Dayton Days
For decades, the annual Dayton Days has been celebrated every July. The small town of Dayton, Wyoming hosts the annual event which features the “Cow Pie Classic” Tournament, the Dayton Days Parade, and a one mile trail run, and music along with other family activities. The three-day event is the highlight of the small town’s year, and is a favorite to people in the surrounding area. The event is held to commemorate the small town’s incorporation in 1909.
