MARION People young and old came out to Silvershell Beach in droves on Sunday, July 11 to celebrate the life of Nolan Gibbons at NolanFest, a music festival organized in honor of the late Old Rochester Regional High School student.
Gibbons was a rising sophomore at the time of his death last August and was known far and wide as a virtuoso musician with a heart of gold. The profound effect he had on people was made clear as speaker after speaker and singer after singer shared their experiences with him as a musician, an actor, and most of all a friend.
