The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON—The Dayton Chamber’s annual fundraising event, Brix and Brew has been moved from May 8, to Nov. 6, according to the Dayton Chamber Manager Molly Weatherill-Tate.

This is the second time the fundraiser has been moved because of concerns around the COVID-19 situation.

Weatherill-Tate said the Dayton Days parade, scheduled for Memorial Weekend, has been cancelled.

“Social distancing will likely be around for several more weeks and with the parade scheduled for May, the board didn’t want to bring a large group to town,” she said about the parade.

The Dayton Days Rodeo is still on for Saturday, May 23, according to the committee’s Facebook page.

Mule Mania, which had been slated for the weekend after Memorial Day has also been cancelled. The Mule Mania committee made the decision because of social distancing requirements. Mule Mania will be back in June of 2021.

Weatherill-Tate said the Chamber board will make a decision about whether to go forward with All Wheels Weekend, slated to take place on June 19-21, sometime in May.

Additionally, the Dayton Alumni weekend event scheduled for July 17-19, is also cancelled.
