KENNETT SQUARE: New marchers

Due to deadlines I didn't get a chance to write a full account of the always amazing Memorial Day parade in Kennett Square, but I did want to mention just some of the new participants in the latter: a handsome K9 named Bico from the Concord Police Department; Kennett Library board chair Tom Swett in his yellow-and-white Nash Metropolitan with library director Megan Walter; a troupe of Aztec dancers; two undulating dragons on poles; a guy in a Transformer-style costume with articulated panels that lit up; the Sin City Band, singing its famous "Chester County" song; the Oscar Mayer Weiner-mobile; the Leif Ericson Viking Ship; the Chester Clippers marching band, led by a caped fiddler playing "Heart and Soul"; veterinarian Dr. John Moss and his wife Anne on horseback in Western frontier regalia; and a Family Promise of Southern Chester County float with a "Wizard of Oz" theme (Unionville Presbyterian pastor Annalie Korengel was Dorothy, cuddling two Bichons).
