Popular children's parade returns
In Lakeport, the Lakeport Elementary School Halloween Parade will take place beginning at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31, said Trish Wiggs, the school secretary.
Lakeport Police will close off a portion of Main Street, allowing first, second and third graders to parade from Natural High School down to Museum Park and back down the other side of the street to their starting point, said Wiggs.
The parade should last about a half hour, Wiggs said.
Leading off the parade will be the Clear Lake High School Marching Band, followed by the school children in their costumes, said Wiggs.
“This has been a tradition for years and years,” she said.
The parade, which Wiggs said has been taking place for more than three decades, draws a lot of people from around the community, and is an annual favorite.
“People really look forward to it in the community,” she said, noting that the school starts getting calls in the weeks before the parade from people making sure it's taking place.
Following the parade, the children will return to the school where their classrooms will hold Halloween parties, said Wiggs.
Halloween party in Clearlake City Hall
Clearlake City Hall is once again extending an invitation to children and parents to come and visit its Halloween party, scheduled from 1 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Mayor Judy Thein reported that city hall's corridors will be transformed with decorations for the occasion, with city staff dressed in costume.
The event will feature tasty goodies conjured up by city staff, and children will receive reflective trick or treat bags featuring the words “Don't be tricked – drugs are no treat!” to help celebrate Red Ribbon month in conjunction with local schools, Thein said.
Clearlake City Hall is located at 14050 Olympic Drive. For more information call 707-994-8201.
