Costumed volunteers handle crowd control at North Attleboro Back-to-School Shuffle
Summary
A volunteer in a crayon costume described keeping children in line and away from the street during the Back to School Shuffle; organizers emphasize safety and a fun experience for kids.
A volunteer who helps at the Back to School Shuffle described costume duties and safety work for the event. Speaking as a crayon character named Linda, the volunteer said they often perform crowd-control duties and ensure children "stay away from the street" while moving between vendors.
The volunteer also noted a history of wearing themed costumes for the event, including a Strawberry Shortcake outfit, and said participants often return to show the goodies they collected. Organizers pointed to volunteer roles and simple safety measures — assigned routes, adult supervision and crowd control — as key parts of running the shuffle smoothly.
Event coordinators asked adults accompanying children to help keep the route orderly and thanked volunteers for their efforts in maintaining a safe, family-friendly atmosphere.
