Put-in-Bay Panther Twirling Club Shines at Bowling Green Holiday Parade

The Put-in-Bay Panther Twirling Club represented the island proudly on Saturday morning, November 22, as they performed in the annual Bowling Green Holiday Parade.

The group included twirlers ranging from elementary age through college, all under the direction of coach KC Bast. The team brought strong energy to the route and showcased the steady growth of PIB’s twirling program.

The performance was included in WTOL’s live televised parade coverage. The replay is available on YouTube, with the Put-in-Bay appearance at 1:45:35: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcV2Zi7vQyU

This appearance follows a successful summer for the group, including standout wins and high placements at the Ohio State Fair baton competitions — a point of pride for the athletes and their supporters.

Saturday’s parade performance was another chance for the club to share their hard work with a regional audience while representing Put-in-Bay.
