Graveyard wins Grand Bean

Over two dozen entries in the 30th Navy Bean Festival parade Saturday gave folks plenty to watch.

The overall grand prize, known as the Grand Bean, was taken by an entry in keeping with the season: BC Trucking's cemetery and its fearsome companions.

DeVille's Rising Sun Pharmacy took second place in that category.

Cedar Hedge and Union cemeteries in Rising Sun got some needed help this summer, thanks to a work crew from the Southeast Regional Community Corrections.

“I was just surprised how well they worked,” said Cliff Thies, cemetery sexton. “I was just hoping they’d pull some weeds, but they went beyond that.”
