Meadville Halloween Parade Unit

Meadville Halloween Parade Unit
Crawford Area LGBT+ will be participating in Meadville's Halloween parade on Oct. 28th as a "walking" float. The parade's theme this year is Safari. The group is partnering with Allegheny College's GSA group. Anyone interested in participating with us and walking the parade would be much appreciated – strength in numbers as we take this bold step in the rural community that proved so "controversial" when the non-discrimination ordinance was proposed. The parade starts at 6:30 pm and all floats must be lined up in the 'line-up' area before then. I will have our line-up 'float' number and more specific times once they provide that Info: Randy Herbert-Weed, at crawfordarealgbt@gmail.com FB at Crawford Area LGBT+
