The 36th annual Hanover Women's Club Juniors Halloween parade will be held at Hanover High School on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 1 p.m.
Each year, children attending the event are asked to bring a non-perishable item to be donated to the Hanover Food Pantry.
This year there will also be donation boxes at different spots throughout the event for the family of Weymouth Police Sgt. Michael Chesna.
Children will circle around the school being led by the band and once the band is finished, Mr. DJ USA will entertain the children with music, games, prizes and bubbles, according to Adams.
Registration begins at 1 p.m. and the parade will start at 1:15 p.m. Goody bags will be handed out at the end of the event. Registration is $3 per child and forms will be available the day of the event and forms will be passed out in schools. Forms can also be dropped off at the John Curtis Free Library. Pre-registration deadline is Friday, Oct. 26.
The turnout for the event is largely dependent on the weather, according to Adams, and if the New England Patriots are playing at that time, which they are not.
The Hanover Women's Club Juniors is part of the international General Federation of Women's Clubs, which has a children's awareness week at the end of October.
There are several different committees throughout the club and the parade is part of the Home Life Committee, which Adams is the chairperson of. They are in charge of activities within the club for their members or for children and their families.
One of the most successful projects they have been involved in was a fashion show several years ago. Habitat for Humanity had recently built new homes for two local families and funds raised by raffle tickets sold at the fashion show were used to purchase gift cards for the families.
