Below: Each one was on a solid stand and the animal rotated in a slow, circular motion. The stand listed the different birth years, with the zodiac sign and symbolization of that sign. Karen Duquette is a "dog". Lee Duquette is the "rooster". |

Below: The Dragon Boat - It was very different from last years, so at first it was disappointing to Karen Duquette because she loved last year's dragon boat so much. But this one was still enjoyable, and it is nice that the exact same items are not on display each year. Then Karen and Lee Duquette got their first look at the dragon boat from the stern. |

Below: After viewing everything else at this Festival, it became nighttime and Lee and Karen Duquette circled back around to the Dragon Boat (and other displays once again). They really loved the nighttime views best. |
