Parade brings community together, supports firefighters
WORTHINGTON, Armstrong County — While Halloween may still be four months away, the Main Street in Worthington was filled with costumed children taking to the streets.
The Worthington-West Franklin Volunteer Fire Department as part of their annual weeklong fundraising carnival hosted a “Kiddie Parade” that was followed with a concert performed by The Full Throttle Band On Wednesday, June 21.
Proceeds to the event went to the Volunteer Fire Department.
“When we started this a few years ago it was about 50 kids,” Terry Smith, president of the Worthington-West Franklin Volunteer Fire Department and chairman for the carnival said. “I think we were well over 200 kids today.”
Children donned costumes ranging from superheros to princess lined up to take the nearly half mile stroll through main street as they made their way to the carnival.
