Last Saturday, during Arlington\u2019s Porchfest<\/a>, families helped us paint patches illustrating what a fox needs to live during a\u00a0free parade craft workshop<\/a>\u00a0we hosted at Arlington\u2019s Samuel Whittemore Park. They’re now part of the puppet fox’s body.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, June 16, walk with us in the parade, which departs at noon from the Fox Library at 175 Massachusetts Ave. All you have to do is show up. We\u2019ll have masks and giant puppets and banners for you to use\u2014or bring your own. The parade will be led by the Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band and also feature giant puppets from Sara Peattie\u2019s Puppeteers Cooperative in Boston.<\/p>\n
