Dodge City Day celebrating town’s birthday Saturday

Published 12:08 am Thursday, June 8, 2017

Dodge City is throwing itself a birthday party this weekend, and everyone is invited. 

The 5th Annual Dodge City Day will take over the town of nearly 600 from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Located just off of the west side of I-65 on exit 299, Dodge City has been steadily adding new businesses and recently enacted a half-cent sales tax on local transaction. 

It incorporated in 1993, making it Cullman County’s youngest municipality. 

Here’s a rundown of the events planned Saturday:

9 a.m.-4 p.m.: Tone Tone the Clown and inflatables for children will be in the street in front of the town hall. 

Local vendors will be on hand selling food and drinks, with other refreshments provided for free. To cool off, stop by the dunking booth. 

10 a.m.: Trammel Family will perform at the new senior center.

Noon: Lunch for all Cullman County senior citizens provided at the new senior center.

1 p.m.: Brick Avenue will perform on the front porch of the town hall.
