Bethany Beach ends summer with jazz funeral
(Chuck Snyder/for NewsWorks)
On Monday, locals and visitors gathered in Bethany Beach to say “goodbye” to summer.
A large crowd was on hand at the resort town’s 29th annual “Jazz Funeral.” Mourners, along with costumed angels and nuns, accompanied a “Casket of Summer’s Past” as it was carried along the boardwalk on Labor Day.
A Dixieland band offered some musical solace for those overtaken with grief for the departed vacation season.
