Folks braved the elements last night and migrated toward the banks of the Mad River, where the Four on the Floor Theatre’s Elemental pageant was in full swing. Stilt walkers, shadow puppets and paper lanterns were there to delight, and the fun continues today with fun and games at the (indoor) Mad River Grange from 3 to 6 p.m. and a barn dance tonight. Local photographer Manuel Orbegozo was out in the Blue Lake wind Friday night and shared the following shots.
