The excitement of the parade! The smell of the Italian dinner! It must be Loco Daze in Dilworth, MN. This annual event has been a mid summer favorite since 1965 and after 53 years Loco Daze has become a well oiled machine. Jim Mclaughlin joins IT2 to talk about the events and how the entire community comes together for a great summer event.
