Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash
Aug 13 @ 5:00 pm – Aug 14 @ 10:00 pm

The Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash is one of the premier community events in Fort Dodge. The event is a fun filled, family friendly weekend that includes everything from a rock concert on the beach to the thrill of community teams competing in the centuries old Chinese sport of dragon boat racing. It’s the perfect mix of community building and team building, not to mention a ton of fun.

We are back on the beach for the 2021 Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash!  We are thrilled to announce that Lone Tree Revival will be the headliner for this summer’s Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash, Aug 13th & 14th, 2021.  Lone Tree Revival is an American Rock Band with a funky back beat and a soulful horn section. We are excited to bring this talented group of local artists to our stage. The Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash is now one of the longest standing events in the Midwest. We are proud that the community support and participation has made this distinction possible, and we are excited that teams are already registering for the 2021 event.

   

 

Highlighting this summer’s celebration is the band Lone Tree Revival, an American Rock Band with a funky back beat and a soulful horn section.

Dayton Rodeo – 2021
Sep 3 @ 5:00 pm – Sep 6 @ 11:55 am

 

Dayton Labor Day Rodeo 2021

Back and Better Than Ever

For children, a free Kiddie Corral is offered Saturday and Sunday evening from 5-6 PM.   Kids can practice roping, get autographs from rodeo celebrities, enjoy facepainting, and more.

In addition to traditional rodeo activities like steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, and bull riding, the Dayton Championship Rodeo offers other fun events.    Little kids climb on sheep for a wild ride in Mutton Bustin’, slightly older kids participate in Junior Bull Riding, and full-grown adults take part in the famous Wild Horse Race.  What is a Wild Horse  Race?  Teams of three enter the arena and a bunch of very wild horses are set loose.  The goal is to catch a horse, saddle it, and then ride it across a line at the end of the arena.  Mayhem inevitably ensues as these horses absolutely do not want to be ridden and these cowboys really want the prize money.

This year’s specialty act is Cowboy Kenny’s Steel Rodeo.  Kenny Bartram—known as Cowboy Kenny—is an American professional freestyle motocross rider.  He now takes his skills to entertain rodeo crowds across the country.

“You see amazing free style motocross, like you watch at the X games,” Bartram said about his show.  “I’ll be hanging off the back of the bike and the front of the bike.  It’s a high flying act.”

This year’s rodeo clown is Gizmo McCracken.  Gizmo has been nominated for the rodeo Comedy Act of the Year many times and won the award in 2017.

The shows are September 3, 4, and 5th at 7 PM and then Monday, September 6 at 1:30 PM.  The annual parade winds through Dayton at 10:00 AM Monday.   Tickets are available at daytonrodeo.com <http://daytonrodeo.com>  and at the gate.
