As happens every year, cow cutouts now decorate several Basehor street corners, signaling that Dairy Days festival is quickly approaching.

This year’s festival is Saturday at Basehor City Park, 15940 Leavenworth Road. Basehor is about two miles west of the intersection of U.S. Highway 24-40 and Kansas Highway 7.

Festivities will begin at 7 a.m. with a Chris Cakes pancake breakfast, followed by musical entertainment from the Prairie Dulcimer Club.

Dairy Days chairwoman Melanie Morris said young festival-goers could expect an enjoyable day with attractions such as a petting zoo, a magician, balloon animals, face-painting and an appearance by the Kansas City T-Bones mascot, “Sizzle the Bull.”

“The kids really have a blast,” Morris said of the day’s activities. “There’s all kinds of things for them to do the entire day.”
