A rain-soaked forecast for Trick or Treat night caused some anxiety for local parents in the days leading up to the event. Ultimately, the weather turned out to be dry–and exceptionally mild–between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m., but as a precaution, large-scale indoor Trick or Treat events were planned in and around Hellertown, possibly for the first time.
Could 2019 wind up being the year in which both the Saucon Valley Spirit Parade and Trick or Treat–the two main community events in the Hellertown area each Halloween–were rained out?
The spookiest season of the year is upon us, and your friends at Civic Theatre in Allentown are cooking up a ghoulish shindig for All Hallows Eve. In the spirit of the holiday, Civic is hosting a Halloween night screening of Tim Burton’s beloved horror-comedy ‘Beetlejuice.’
The rain that forced the cancellation of Sunday’s Saucon Valley Spirit Parade in Hellertown also left postmaster Joe DiRusso with an unusual problem on his hands: 500 pounds of donated Halloween candy and no one to eat it.
If you want to know the order in which the participants in Sunday’s Saucon Valley Spirit Parade will appear in it, so you can get that perfect photo of someone special or cheer extra loud for a friend or relative, read on.
One of the biggest events of the year in the Hellertown area is this Sunday, Oct. 20, rain or shine. The annual Saucon Valley Spirit Parade marches off at 2 p.m., and once again it will feature a fine assortment of bands, floats, fire trucks and enough candy being thrown by the people on the fire trucks and floats to fill a swimming pool.
A resident reported on the neighborhood networking platform Nextdoor Saturday that Fountain Hill Police are being notified about an incident in which his family’s outdoor Halloween decorations were stolen or destroyed Friday evening.
Fountain Hill Borough had a Facebook page that for all intents and purposes appeared to be an official social media arm of the tiny municipality. But it was never an official page, according to borough council, because it wasn’t administered by borough staff under their oversight.
Just in case you’re thinking that this year’s parade will somehow be ho-hum, the organizers of the Saucon Valley Spirit Parade in Hellertown want to prepare you for some fun and exciting changes for 2019.
The Saucon Valley Spirit Parade Committee has announced that this year’s spirit parade will be held in Hellertown on Sunday, Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. As always, donations and sponsors are needed to ensure that the beloved free community event goes off without a hitch.
