Join SACC as we present the 52nd Annual World Championship Dainty Contest and Dainty Fest!
On Saturday, we're kicking off a weekend celebrating Dainty with a Dainty fundraiser at The Merryweather featuring bands, drink specials, games, raffles, and more!
On Sunday, folks can enjoy a day full of fun at Hauck's Corner for Open Hauck's. You'll even be able to visit the Dainty Museum! Schedule of events and activities coming soon.
On the last Monday in July, crowds will gather on George Hauck Way for the 52nd year to see who will be crowned the 2022 Dainty Champion.
Monday's event will feature the classic Dainty Contest, food trucks (+ bologna sandwiches!), and a beer garden. SACC will be selling shirts, koozies, and Dainty prints, tees, magnets, and stickers! Proceeds help SACC fund community projects.
