This was the first part of lighting ceremony. A large number of volunteers, all wearing black, stood on a makeshift stage on the State Street bridge. Each volunteer held a torch and alternating faced in opposite directions. The fire was passed from torch bearer to torch bearer. From my vantage point I was unable to even estimate how many there were.
@amandal - It is called Water Fire Amanda! It was the first year that it was held in Sharon. I posted more information on yesterday's post. @kwind - Thank you Kim! I imagine that it was pretty impressive! We were right at the railing on a bridge and people were standing behind us 4 or five deep so that restricted our view of them.
