With the seventh annual FestiFools around the corner, University of Michigan students worked diligently to finish their larger-than-life paper mache creations.
Creative Director and Founder Mark Tucker met with about 22 Lloyd Hall Scholars Program students at the "creation headquarters" on campus to coordinate schedules, rehearse the parade, and assist with projects.
An additional 170 School of Art and Design students and other community contributions will be showcased during the event on Sunday. Students have been working for the last two months and most of the materials were donated through local organizations or benefactors.
This year, the students selected the theme "time foolery" and were inspired by what representation of time means to them.
"It has grown conceptually better and better every year," Tucker says.
The parade will start at 4 p.m. on Sunday on Main Street in between William and Washington. FestiFools and FoolMoon are produced by WonderFool Productions. FoolMoon runs from dusk Friday to midnight on Ann Arbor's Washington Street.
