This year’s Dumont Sandbaggin’ Days Grand Marshal is a lifelong Dumont area resident with fond memories of the festival as a child.
“Years ago when they had rides on Main Street, we’d always go and get on the rides and have fun when we were kids,” said Norm Burkett, who will serve as Grand Marshal at the parade on Saturday, July 13 at 4:30 p.m.
Aside from being a lifelong resident, Burkett said he also worked at the Dumont Wellness Center for 28 years and then retired after five years at the Rehabilitation Center. Additionally, he has served on the Consistory of The Dumont Reformed Church.
