Duxbury pride on 4th of July
Kim Raukaus represented Lady Liberty on the Standish Shores

Neighborhood float, “History comes to Standish Shores.” The Bookmarks, a high school group that meets at the library, created a float that celebrated the country’s
literary heritage. The side of the float reads: “Today’s banned book is tomorrow’s classic!”
A Civil War reenactment group fired a volley of blanks, much to the delight of the crowd. As the theme
was “Our American Heritage,” several historical marching groups participated in the parade.
Mariah MacFarlane and Rita Thompson belted out rock n’ roll tunes
from a revolving stage on the DHS Drama Club’s float.
Peter Clark, Devon Barley, Brendan Killarney

and Winslow Marshall provided the musical
entertainment at the Beach Party.
Jocko Rooney and

Dana Battista work the
grill at the Duxbury
Beach Reservation’s
tent just outside the
Beach Party.
The float created by the Cornerstone Lodge won second place in the
maxi float category.
