City of Davison, Michigan

It is that time of year again. One of the largest yearly DDA projects each year is our annual Do-Da Parade and pageant followed up by Pumkinfest.

The Parade is Friday night October 13th (oohh, pretty scarrry). The parade goes from the fire hall to the entertainment tent downtown. Everyone in the parade is in a costume and it is a real hoot to witness people having good clean fun.

The annual Do-da pageant is really a spoof on beauty pageants. The contestants are sponsored by local business. The contestants are also in costume and we have had some real characters over the years. They have to answer questions and judged on about six or seven different factors.

Last year we
had great weather
and great a great
turn out.

New this year is the semi-final to “Davison Idol” will be held right after the pageant. It is my understanding the final 10 will sing before our live audience with the final during Saturday’s Pumpkinfest festivities.

This year looks like another great year to come downtown on October 14th. All types of family friendly events, contest and food. Yes, even the mechanical bull is returning, I just don’t think my daughter will be able to talk me into riding that contraption again.

How do we know it is just around the corner?
We’ve just selected this year’s logo award. This year’s winner is a fifth grader from Hahn Intermediate School.

Sweatshirts with the logo will go on sale soon, so contact the Community Development Department to make sure you get yours before they sell out.
