Housatonic plans Halloween parade, costume contest and a Pulse "Thriller" flash mob
Summary
Committee approved submitting parks paperwork to host a Halloween parade, human and dog costume contest, and a 10-15 minute 'Thriller' flash-mob performance by Berkshire PULSE at Housatonic Commons; parade is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. and organizers plan to wrap up events before 5 p.m. to allow trick-or-treating.
The committee agreed to submit parks paperwork to support two Halloween-related activities: a rehearsal on Oct. 24 and a live performance and parade on Oct. 31.
Chair described the program: the parade will start at 4 p.m. at Ramsdale Library, proceed down Main Street to the Commons, where Berkshire PULSE will present a 10-15 minute performance and the committee will run a human-and-dog costume contest. "Pulse rep will provide sound equipment and lighting," the chair said, and the presenter added that PULSE will seek local funding sources.
Committee members approved a motion to submit parks paperwork and discussed timing to ensure the event ends before 5 p.m. so trick-or-treating can proceed, and said they will seek final guidance from the design review team on road-closure extent and police/fire coordination.
