GRAND MARSHAL
77th FESTIVAL

Larry “bamm” caudell

Larry is a lifelong resident of Mitchell. His parents owned a store in town. He is a 1973 graduate of Mitchell High School.  He left Mitchell for 2 weeks as a college freshman, learned all he needed to know for life, and came home.  He and his wife, Diana, have raised 2 children in Mitchell, and they still live in the same neighborhood that he was raised in. They have 4 grandchildren who come to visit the same house that his parents lived in.

He has devoted 47 years of his life to Mitchell as a Lehigh employee and as a past fire chief for the Mitchell Fire Department. He was also the  2018 Persimmon Festival Chairman and Co-Chair of the 75th Persimmon Festival.  During the month of September and many others, he devotes more time to the Persimmon Festival behind the scenes than most people do to a full-time job. Without him, festival chairmen would be lost. He keeps us moving smoothly from year to year.

There is nothing about Mitchell, the Persimmon Festival, or life in general, that Bamm does not know. For the past 5 years, he has been an open book of knowledge and willing to answer any and all questions.

Please welcome our 2024 Mitchell Persimmon Festival Grand Marshall, Larry “Bamm” Caudell.
