The second annual Magic in Our Midst, held the evening of Friday, Dec. 11 at Duck Park, proved to be a delightful night of fun; and, yes, magic.
The event, created by Thunder Bay River Center Board, was advertised as COVID-safe. Groups of six were escorted by medieval guides through a pathway of “talking” animals. Groups were spaced 10 minutes apart to assure safe distancing. This allowed up to 36 visitors each hour to hear what the animals had to tell them. Twenty-seven volunteers, including 14 Alpena High School students, enabled the evening to be a big success.
