From staff reports
At their meeting Monday evening, the Lewistown Borough Council approved the borough’s 100th Halloween Parade as well as its modified route.
Normally the parade is sponsored and hosted by FAME EMS, but FAME was faced with the hard decision of pulling out of the parade this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Holding the event would have resulted in a loss of funding and insurance.
Wilson spoke as to why the event was is so important: “With everything happening with COVID, the little kids, haven’t had a normal summer and really nothing normal. So why not give them a little beam of hope.”
The parade will follow a modified compared to previous years. PennDOT is not currently issuing any parade permits, so the parade cannot follow any PennDOT roadways. The new route will traverse South Grand and South Wayne Streets. Goss added that there will be plenty of room to social distance with this new route. The parade will start by going up South Grand Street, then cut over to West Charles Street and down South Wayne Street, ending at the Green Gables.
Questions regarding the event can be answered by the Mifflin County Trick or Treat crawl Facebook group or callers can contact Cassandra Goss at (717) 953-2569 or by email at cassandra.goss0812@gmail.com. Parade registration will begin Oct. 12 following the Borough Council voting meeting.
