Step back in time to Alfred Festival Day, July 20, 1985, in Alfred, Maine! This vintage home video captures the charm and creativity of the community parade — featuring the unforgettable “Tremun the Polar Bear,” a massive paper-mâché sculpture proudly built by Mrs. Myra Munden’s 1st/2nd grade class at Alfred Elementary, with art guidance from Lucille Hussey.

Watch the students show off their Arctic Studies project alongside classic parade favorites — from the ever-entertaining Shriners in their go-karts to hometown floats and smiling faces lining Main Street.
