Kari Percival and Greg Cook (me) of Wonderland Spectacle Co. and our giant fox puppet had a wonderful time in Arlington’s annual Fox Festival Parade today in celebration of community, creativity, local wildlife, and the Massachusetts city’s Fox Branch Library. The parade is a project of Arlington Public Art , managed by Cecily Miller. The Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band led the parade. It also featured giant puppets, masks and smaller puppets created under the direction of Sara Peattie’s Puppeteers Cooperative in Boston.
