hanks to the cartoon superhero powers of Spiderman and his cohort Bobbie Wilkins (left) and Batman and his assistant Nicole Louden, the skies over Barry County will be safe for the 38th annual Summerfest celebration to take place in downtown Hastings Friday through Sunday, Aug. 28 to 30. Wilkins and Louden are members of the event planning committee which chose this year's "Cartoon Characters" theme that's already being celebrated with 23 life-size cartoon cutouts in area businesses and public spaces. It will be a weekend of cartoon fun and superhero endeavors from food to music, cars and motorcycles to pinewood and soapbox derby races, and crafts to multiple sporting events.
