A Beary Interesting..WoollyBear…

Of caterpillars and black and orange coats…

So this weekend is the famous Woollybear festival right down town Vermilion. Fox 8 news will be here along with several of the local tv channel’s celebs to celebrate the coming of winter as forecasted by our small woolly friends.

The festival was started by tv weatherman Dick Goddard and continues on as a great family friendly legacy. Several vendors, a parade and various costume contests all are part of the fun.

What that means for you is traffic will be on the heavy side so come to the dock early or wait till late afternoon as it is the biggest one day festival in Ohio.

We will have a 501c3 parking cars to raise money for their org, but you will be able to still park at your dock. The field will be where the visitors park, not the dock parking.

If the caterpillars stripes predict a harsh or mild winter, we will let you know.

In the meantime… We hope to see you dockside!
