Free-range fun

Oak Harbor’s famous Chucky Chicken danced with the crowds at the Oak Harbor Music Festival Saturday.

Ever the trendsetter, it appears a flock of fans copied his signature pose while he strutted about the town during the multi-day music festival.

The Oak Harbor Music Festival drew crowds this weekend as it made its return after a 2020 cancellation. This year marked the city’s ninth music festival. The festival featured 30 bands, 25 arts vendors and 10 food vendors. The Island County pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinic also set up shop on the festival premises.
