The village of Dundee is gearing up for Dundee Day on Saturday, and organizers say it’s shaping up to be a fun-filled, community-wide celebration.

Hosted by the Dundee Merchants Association, the event is best known for its village-wide yard sales, but this year it will also feature the return of a fan favorite — the bed races. The Association has been working to create a lively and social atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.

Events will take place throughout the day across the village.
