KRAZY DAYZ IS BACK!!

Back before residential yard sales became the thing they are, there was Krazy Dayz, a kind of giant yard sale staged downtown as a hugely popular annual novelty. Some time in the hazy past, circa 1950s I suppose, Krazy Dayz emerged as the occasion where downtown merchants put out long tables in front of their businesses featuring all sorts of goodies, overstock merchandise and oddball stuff to the delight of large crowds. This was all highlighted by a big parade, Fire Department antics of various sorts, music, tents, festival atmosphere and so on.

The Chamber of Commerce was the organizing force behind this big party and it was certainly the high point and defining celebration of Dallas life and times for the year. At some point way back, the Chamber experimented with naming it “Smilaroo.” This was likely the idea of the enthusiastic Chamber Manager, Curt Lamb, who would often be seen wandering around town dressed as a large rabbit – those were the days!

As Smileroo apparently didn’t totally catch on, the event somehow morphed into “Summerfest” - perhaps its organizers were concerned that outsiders might think we were in fact insane. This is possible, as folks still called it Krazy Dayz anyway. Under the Summerfest brand, the merchandise sale aspect of the event faded away and it became more of a street fair featuring vendor booths, music, food and the large parade.

Not too many years ago the Chamber

finally tired of the less-than-rousing name of Summerfest and put it out to a public vote as to what to call it. As might be suspicioned, Krazy Dayz was far and away the big vote getter, so here we are again.

Modeled on the highly successful Dallas Total Solar Eclipse downtown festival in 2017, Krazy Dayz now has three primary features downtown: a large number and variety of vendor tents, a big stage with high quality music and sound and, finally, the traditional Krazy Dayz Parade on Saturday. On Sunday, the action shifts to the park for the Rotary Breakfast and Art in the Park.

Dallas welcomes the world to our Krazy Dayz weekend, and as things return to something like a new-normal after some fraught times around here, we expect large crowds and a good time. Come on down.

TY CURTIS

Ty Curtis discovered his love for rock and roll after picking up a guitar at the young age of 13. In the 18 years since that discovery, he has honed his craft and has opened for such musical luminaries as George Thorogood, the Doobie Brothers and Robert Cray.

He has performed in venues locally at the LB Day Amphitheater in Salem to the Montreal Jazz Festival. He’s played in a few different variation of bands, featuring him on harmonica and guitar. Now he’s ready for a different phase of life.

Hot off performing on the Dallas Rotary Performing Arts Stage July 7 kicking off the 2002 Sounds of Summer season, Curtis returns to Dallas to kick off three days of entertainment during Krazy Dayz.

In addition to performing his greatest hits, Curtis said the audience will get a preview of two new albums. “I’ll be dropping new songs on everybody,” Curtis said.

The first single to keep an ear out for this July is “Hey Now,” he cowrote with longtime collaborator Hank Shrive. While he likes to listen to all kinds of music – he’s got a old blues stylings on his record player – he doesn’t try to let current trends influence what he’s writing.

“The music I’m creating comes from everywhere in life,” he said. “The hard times, the good times, different times, happy times. It captures all the different feelings of life. These new songs is the most honest music I’ve put out.”

INTERSTATE - 5

Interstate-5 is a four-piece pop punk and alternative rock band from McMinnville.

The band formed in 2017 with jams in drummer Graham Sommers’s basement with guitarist Scott Winkenweder, later merging with vocalist Matteo Bucknell and bassist Mason Akers from other local outfits Convicted. Influenced by bands like Violent Soho,

TURNSTILE, Foo Fighters, and Joyce Manor, their unique brand of entertainment fuses hard-hitting guitars and catchy pop vocals with a driving, dynamic rhythm section.

Before quarantine, Interstate-5 released 2 singles on streaming services: “Marie” and “Rhino” and played multiple local shows and festivals. During quarantine, they refined their sound

and wrote new material, and released two more singles “9nth Avenue” and “Summer Forever” and their first studio EP “Watching For Satellites.”
