Celebrate spring and the diversity of natural species on our planet with Spindleworks and Arts Are Elementary, who are hosting a community wide parade on Friday, May 9. Everyone is welcome to join in, dressed as or carrying a representation of their favorite species. Creative visual interpretations of species are welcome and it is requested that live animals, motorized vehicles (aside from motorized wheel chairs), and slogans or words are left at home. Those interested in participating should gather on the town mall at 4 p.m. for a prompt 4:30 p.m.start. The parade will head down Maine Street towards the river, take a right on Bank Street, another right on Federal Street, and a final right on School Street back to the town green. The parade will end just as the first ArtWalk of the season begins.
