Please make a note that the annual Rag Shag Parade is tonight. This terrific community event for young children is sponsored by the City of Easthampton, and it’s a favorite fall tradition. The rain date is Wednesday, October 30.

The parade route is as follows:

The parade will begin at Maple Street School. It goes down Cottage Street, bears right on to Union Street, goes around the rotary, and then on to Park Street. The parade ends in front of the Reed Campus Center.

The driveway around the quad will not be accessible from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Pick-up alternatives for families are the Athletic Center or the Middle School. Please make note for your commute tonight.

Hooray for Halloween!
