There are several varieties of trees that dot the city and when they bloom residents know that spring is here and also that the annual Dogwood Daze celebration is nearing. Residents gather to celebrate the beginning of spring and to support the activities of the Chamber of Commerce in all that they do to promote Thayer. This year's celebration was held April 11, and featured numerous activities. Activities began that morning with the Thayer - Mammoth Spring Rotary Club pancake breakfast, followed by carnival type activities for the kids.
