Dayton Days will put on a two-day rodeo on May 26-27 at the Columbia County Fairgrounds.
DAYTON–Plans are under way for hooves and horsehide in Dayton this coming Memorial Day Weekend, May 26 and 27, for the 2023 Dayton Days-Columbia County Fair Assoc. Rodeo.
Officers and board members of Dayton Days Inc. met earlier this week to discuss details surrounding the Memorial Day celebration. The nonprofit corporation, which put on a weekend of pari-mutuel horse racing for over nine decades, collaborates with the local fair association to put on the rodeo.

Admission will be $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and youth (8-16), and seven and under are free.
Plans are in the works for numerous vendors, a beer garden and mechanical bull.
Rodeo contractor will be Bar X Ranches, LLC and Shamrock Rodeo.
