Plans are under way for the annual Spirit of Beacon Day to be held on Sunday, September 24th (rain date, October 1st) from 12:00pm – 4:00pm, and the theme for this year is “Beacon’s Youth – Tomorrow’s Future.”
The committee is taking reservations for booth space and from any groups who are interested in marching in the parade, and especially for any group interested in having a float. The parade route will be from Main and Beekman Streets to Tioronda Avenue and booths will be set up from Main and Teller to North/South Brett Streets. The booths open around noon and the parade will begin at 1:00 pm. Booth space is available to non-profit groups only, while the parade is open to the public. Some of the 42 organizations that have already signed up for spaces are: St. Rocco Society, Beacon Community Center, Forrestal School, Beacon Light Tabernacle Church, ARF, Beacon Rotary Club, along with the Fire Department and Beacon Volunteer Ambulance Corp.
For booth information and/or reservations, call Rose Story, 831-5401 after 5:30 pm and for the parade call Roy Ciancanelli at 831-3027.
As in the past, for safety reasons, the Committee would appreciate everyone’s cooperation with not bringing dogs, bicycles or skateboards.
