The 70th Annual Mermaid Festival activities began Wednesday with events like The Cutie Parade down Main Street. The theme for this year’s festival is “Back to the ’70s.” Top photo – Everett Guy, 5, North Webster, rode in a custom-built buggy recognizing the veterans of the Vietnam War, which ended in 1975. Everett’s dad, Ben Guy, wore the uniform his father wore while serving during the war, 1970-71. “I wore his uniform to honor him,” Ben said. Bottom photo – Mikilah Wiggs, 9, got groovy for the parade by dressing as the 1973 Miss Webster Lake pageant contestant in a homemade Volkswagen Beetle. The Mermaid Festival continues through Saturday, with the townwide parade at 4 p.m. Saturday.[[In-content Ad]]
