SUMMER SENDOFF Bowfest 49 celebrated Sacred Creatures Across Cultures & involved many special floats traversing down Trunk Road during the morning parade. Among them was Sandy the Heron, a soaringly impressive puppet brought to life by a true group effort. Find out all about this bird’s backstory on Page 12. Parade-goers were also treated to a look at one of the Fire Department’s lesser-used fleet vehicles, which members Jason Jacquet & Justin Wheatley used every ounce of their dexterity to squeeze into. Flip through this week’s paper for much more Bowfest fun! / Alex Kurial (left) & Chelsea Strang (right) photos
