It isn’t a true start to summer unless you first hit Dairy Days in Adams.

This year’s celebration is June 10-12, and as you’ve come to expect, is filled with fun and food throughout the three days of fun, kicking off with some great BBQ action with the Schmitz Electric Smoke-Off!, starting at the bright and early time of 6 a.m. Friday. And don’t forget about the special nighttime parade on Saturday at 7 p.m.
