Well, it sounds like last summer's Dew Days celebration in Farmington will be the last. I'm glad I went while I had the chance. This year the Battle of the Bands was pretty cool. The bands even had a real stage to play on since Farmington borrowed a stage from the Lakeville Parks'n'Rec department. One of the bands came all the way from Rosemount. The winning band played the Dakota County Fair. Unfortunately, I did not get to see that show since they played at 4 PM on Thursday afternoon.
Since the Battle of the bands was outside, I brought Perro along. Perro loved the Battle of the Bands. He was rocking out! Someone brought along an iguana to see the show, and when Perro spotted the iguana, he stood up and sniffed the air. I know he recognized it was one of Whippy's brethren. He's a smart little guy.
Dew Days is one of the best parts of living in Farmington. I'll always cherish the memories of my Dew Days experiences. Ah, the memories, sitting in the beer garden with my neighbors, riding the Tilt-a-Whirl at the tiny carnival on the vacant lot downtown, and watching the winner kiss the piglet at the Kiss-the-Pig contest. I'll mourn the passing of Dew Days.
