Sunflower Days has been getting families and friends together for at least 40 years, and the small town festival will continue that tradition Saturday in Dexter.

“It’s been going on — I don’t know how long it’s been going on. As long as I’ve been alive it’s been going on, and that’s about 40 years,” event organizer Stacy Forthun laughed.

“It’s just nice to have a little town celebration and just have the community come out and have a day of fun together,” she added.

Sunflower Days is a one-day event, and the biggest draw in past years has been the street dance, which is free admission along with all the events. There are also bouncy houses for the children during the day, which are free admission.
