MARYSVILLE — Before the Marysville Strawberry Festival’s Royalty and float put in appearances at the Saturday night Grand Parade on June 15, they’ll have already put in at least two months of travel time throughout the state of Washington, as well as a trip up north to Canada. Darren Doty, covice president elect of the Maryfest Board of Directors, also serves as one of the parade float’s two main drivers, along with a supplementary third driver, and he estimated that the float crew will have logged approximately 1,000 miles on the road prior to cruising

down State Avenue for the Strawberry Festival Grand Parade. “We started on April 13 with the Daffodil Festival Parade,” Doty said. “What was unique about that day was that we had to participate in four different parades in one day — in Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner and Orting — so rather than transporting our float in the trailer, like we do even when we do the West Seattle and Olympia parades on the same day in July, we were escorted as we drove the float down the highway between towns.” Tacoma is actually the nearest of the festivals that the Royalty and float crew SEE FESTIVAL, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — Students at Marshall Elementary School got a special visit on Tuesday, June 4, when a petting zoo from Animal Encounters was placed temporarily on their front lawn. Pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, chinchillas and even an adult wallaby with a joey in her pouch were just some of the creatures contained within a fenced enclosure on the school grounds. Students from several classes, including children with special needs, were given time to interact with each animal in a friendly way. “Every year we do a graduation ceremony, but a lot of families can’t attend,” said teacher Kelli Marble. “Rather than set something up for the parents, we thought about doing SEE ZOO, PAGE 12
