Word is out for the 13th annual Dayton Days Parade and Picnic.  Members of the Dayton Community Association have met and are currently making plans for the event, which will take place on Sunday, Oct. 19. The parade route has changed this year, and for those who remember the first parade, you will remember that the parades originally started on Morningstar Drive.

Once again this year, the parade lineup will be on Morningstar Drive beginning at noon. The parade will officially begin at 1 p.m. and marchers will travel down Ten Oaks Road, through the Dayton Crossroads, continuing on Ten Oaks Road and ending at Dayton Oaks Park, next to Dayton Oaks Elementary School, where a community picnic will take place. The day will include a moon bounce, cake walk, cotton candy, a clown, face painting, pumpkins to decorate, music, crafts, bake sale and exhibits.

Table space is available for exhibitors. Community help is also needed to complete the planning of this day. The Dayton Community Association is always looking for local individuals and businesses to help sponsor the event and defray some of the costs for the day’s activities.  In addition, volunteers are need to distribute fliers, bake for the cake walk, set-up tables and chairs, monitor the moon bounce, assist with the various planned activities and clean up.  If you would like to join in the fun and support the local community or are interest in exhibitor table space, call Sue or Ed Brady at 301-596-9196 or e-mail daytondays@hotmail.com.
