I hate when neighboring cities hold their events on the same days. Then we miss out on one or the other no matter what. Do they do that on purpose?
This weekend is Savage’s Dan Patch Days. Best thing for people with kids is the inflatables on Saturday from 12 – 8pm. $10 for unlimited access to a field full of large, and I mean the big, inflatables. Besides that there is food, bands and fireworks among other events…
It is also Dan Patch Days in Savage June 24-26
