Puppet for peace

Kari Ormsby, left, and Claire Schleusener aren’t sure what to make of Mister Cool, an oversized puppet operated by Mark Richards of Waterford to promote next week’s Concert in the Park. Richards made the puppet last year to help out the ?70s band Magic Bus, set to perform July 6. ‘I built him to add some excitement ? he turned out pretty good,? said Richards, in downtown Clarkston with his wife, Cindy, June 25. This week, June 29, Bugs Beddow performs rock classics of the ?80s. Concerts start at 6:30 p.m. in Depot Park. Photo by Phil Custodio
