Four days of carnival rides, live music, games, stage shows and a variety of other family-oriented fun will kick off Thursday as the Troy Family Daze Festival returns to the city for the first time since 2009.  Started as a volunteer-produced festival in 1968, Troy Daze is the longest-running community celebration of its kind in the city.

This Fourth of July, in between rounds, the firemen refreshed the crowd by turning the hoses on them. The park was filled with locals and out-of-towners enjoying rides, snacks and games at the fair and checking out the arts and crafts show, but many took a break to support the youth All-Star Baseball Games ("Majors" and "Minors"). If you missed out on this year's events, check out these photos along with …
