This image from a past Liberty and Union Festival focuses on a young child, probably elementary school or middle school aged, wearing a red vest, jeans, and work boots as he explores the Liberty and Union Festival. His attire contrasts greatly from the Rehoboth Minutemen Reenactors behind him, wearing colonial American military attire.
