Halloween Parade Marches Through Grover Cleveland Park

More than 200 children families and even pets came decked out in original costumes to kick off Halloween in the community last weekend.

Halloween came early for young students as they donned their costumes for a parade Saturday through Grover Cleveland Park. 

More than 200 children families and even pets came decked out in original costumes to kick off Halloween in the community last weekend. A total of 16 trophies were awarded by age group, and, of course, all participants received goody bags filled with holiday treats.

The day featured Halloween-themed games, crafts and activities, as well as a spooky story-time in the pond house, added to the fun. Jack’s Super Foodtown donated cider and donuts, Nestlé donated bottled water, and Rock 'n' Joe’s Coffeehouse provided complimentary coffee and hot chocolate on the brisk but sunny morning.
