DAYTON — The community of Dayton celebrated its local superheroes – the Dayton Volunteer Fire Department/QRU and first responders – with an afternoon of fun, festivities and fundraising during Dayton Daze on Saturday.
This year’s festivities offered a little something for everyone, including a parade that boasted its usual array of emergency vehicles, fire trucks and loads of candy for the kids.
The Dayton Daze event, held annually since 1991, serves as the department’s largest fundraiser of the year. The Chief Cliff Volunteer Fire Department/QRU is the first line of defense for those living in northern Lake County, including Dayton, Proctor, Elmo and Lake Mary Ronan.
Funds raised this year will aid in the purchase of a greater capacity water cistern.
