March in a mermaid parade

Posted

SHOHOLA, PA — Mermaids are coming to Shohola on August 4. Inspired by the “Coney Island in Shohola” event scheduled for that same day, a group of artists and art lovers have decided to march dressed as mermaids, King Neptune, or Coney Island freaks.

Leading the parade will be event coordinator Rose Chateau in a gorilla suit with her live banana ball python snake, Chiquita. Anyone who would like to participate is invited to gather at the Artists’ Market Community Center, 114 Richardson Ave. at 3 p.m. on August 4.  At 3:30 Rose will lead the group along Richardson Avenue to Stonedock Road and make a right onto Rohman’s Road. The Parade Route continues to the end of Rohman’s Road and makes a right onto Chauncey Thomas Road, then ends where it began at the Artists’ Market.

“It’s not a long route,” explains Rose, “but it will be a lot of fun. So far we’ve got some mermaids and a ‘Mussel Woman’ who have promised to attend, so come and join us or find a good spot along the parade route.”

Everyone is invited to a reception for Coney Island in Shohola  at 4 p.m. at the Artists’ Market that will include an art exhibit, live entertainment and complimentary refreshments. To participate, for a free loan of a costume, or for further information, e-mail Barryvil leAreaArts@gmail.com or call 845/557-8713.
