SPECIAL EVENTS
In addition to treating yourself to the delicious baked goods at the Dahinda General Store, you can join us for several special events throughout the year. Below are a few of the events we offer. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for additional announcements.
Geode Cracking
Just like opening a Christmas or birthday present, imagine opening a rock of your very own... and seeing crystals that have taken thousands of years to form and have never been seen before! Fun for the whole family. All rocks and tools are provided on-site. Only cost associated is the rock of your choice!
Farmer's Market
Every Summer through Fall brings local products and produce to the Dahinda General Store. Area farmers, craftsmen, vendors, and Fritzy's Greenhouse are available onsite to sell fruits, vegetables, flowers, handmade crafts and goods, among other things.
Vendor Days
With the motto for working only with local artisans, growers, and suppliers, the business has grown to include over 40 local vendors who provide food items, essentials, crafted gifts, and more. You will have the opportunity to meet several vendors throughout the year.
Labor Day Tomato Tasting
Utilizing local friends & family green-thumbers and their gardens, we offer 30-50 varieties of locally-grown tomatoes for a FREE tasting. Ever wonder which tomato has the most acidity? Which holds together the best for slicing vs sauces? Ever try a black tomato? This is your opportunity to try them all so you know which varieties to be on the look out for your own garden or kitchen next season!
Dahinda Days Native American Gathering
Partnering with the Williamsfield Historical Society, we celebrate the town of Dahinda as a former Indian village. Complete with authentic dancers, dressm drums, & teepees, this event also welcomes some of the 18th century reenactors & buck-skinners who may show you how to throw a Tomahawk or load a black-powder musket. In 2024 we also welcomed a local authentic Indian fry-bread maker & other vendors to go along with the bison burgers. Several local artifacts are typically on display as we celebrate the rich heritage of the community.
