Children of all ages and their parents are invited to join the Akron Fire Company Halloween Parade on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Parking will be available at the parking lot of MCC, 21 S. 12th St., beginning at 6 p.m., and the parade will begin at 6:30 p.m.

A greeter with a blinking red light will give each child a ticket signifying his or her age group. At the end of the event, costumes will be judged in various age categories.

The parade will travel up 12th Street, turning right on Main Street until reaching Akron Fire Company, 1229 Main St., Akron, where children may enjoy hot dogs, cookies, and other treats. Costume judging will take place during this time. Three winners in each age category will be announced, and door prizes will be presented. There will be candy for all.

The event will end by 8:30 p.m., and a hay wagon will be available for anyone who wishes to ride back to the MCC parking lot rather than walking.

For more information, contact Aaron Murray at 717-381-7173. In the case of rain, the parade will be canceled.
