Goodbye Rambling River Days,Hello Dew Days.....again!
For the C.E.E.F. Board, the all volunteer group who organizes this event, the change of name back to Dew Days was a no-brainer.
This event, originally called Mountain Dew Days because Farmington at one time had the highest per capita consumption of the beverage in the country, was eventually shortened to just Dew Days.In 2005, the festival became Rambling River Days as a tribute to the Vermillion River that runs through Farmington. However, Farmington residents just didn't seem to catch on to the new name.
So in 2009, the C.E.E.F. Board decided to change the festival's name back to "Dew Days", which is short and simple. And besides, most people in the area refer to the event as Dew Days anyway.
