Running of the Bull

A quarter of a century ago, Michael McDonnell was in his mid-twenties and feeling revelrous when he and a beach house full of his cohorts decided to enact their own wacky version of Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls in an unassuming bar in Dewey Beach. None of them could have anticipated that inaugural run down the beach with the bull in a costume in June, 25 years ago, would ultimately become Dewey Beach’s own “drunk uncle” version of Pamplona’s long held tradition.
