Sandusky Bicentennial
Celebration Continued from page 1

So...what is the allure of the tall ships? The mystery, the lore, the magic? What is it about them that takes our breath away as they majestically sail into view? The pres- ence of tall ships at any event imbues the occasion with genuine awe, staggering beauty and historical signifi- cance. This year, as the City of Sandusky celebrates its bicentennial, a number of tall ships will mark the grand occasion with a parade of sail on the opening day of the Festival of Sail Sandusky 2018. Among the tall ships to take part in this celebration are the U.S. Brig Niagara, the Schooner Madeline and the Schooner Appledore IV. Opportunities abound not only to view and board the ships during the festival, but also to set sail on these historic vessels.
Bobbing alongside the majestic tall ships will be the world’s largest rubber duck. Standing over sixty feet tall and weighing in at around eleven tons, “Mama Duck” will be greeting visitors who come from near and far to cele- brate the Sandusky bicentennial. The rubber duck, a cre- ation of Dutchman Florentijn Hofman, is coming to bathe in Lake Erie, having traveled to the ports of multiple major cities around the world over the years, sharing her message of environmental conservation. “Mama Duck,”
for all her heft is fragile, how- ever, and cannot with- stand certain whims of nature. Catching a glimpse of her may be tricky if Mother Nature does not co- operate, but as of the moment, the rubber ducky is scheduled for her bath here in Sandusky from the 12th through the 15th of
July.
It is impossible to list here the many exciting events planned for this bicen- tennial year in Sandusky, so please go to the official site for information on all events. Check out the website at Sandusky2018.com to learn more. Let’s celebrate!
