We had a blast at the Mechanicsburg Halloween Parade on Tuesday evening. Twenty GOTR girls from Elmwood, Northside, and Upper Allen Elementary Schools walked “GOTR tall” along with the Arthritis Foundation to promote the upcoming Jingle Bell 5K. Thanks to the coaches and moms who helped make it a fun and safe evening!!!

Halloween Parades with the Arthritis Foundation!
October 3, 2012 by ·
The Arthritis Foundation has invited GOTR girls to ride on their float to promote the Jingle Bell Run in upcoming Halloween parades! This is just for fun and not required.
GENERAL INFO: The Mechanicsburg Halloween parade is Tuesday 10/9 at 7:00 p.m. We will meet at Mechanicsburg High School at 5:30 p.m. — at the high school sign along Broad Street. We will paint faces and walk to the float together. Since GOTR staff and coaches cannot provide transportation, parents must be there to drop off and pick up.
ATTIRE: Please wear a GOTR shirt if you have one. If not, we will have extra GOTR or Jingle Bell shirts you can borrow. If the weather is chilly, come prepared with a long sleeve shirt to wear underneath.
JUST FOR FUN: Accessorize with Santa hats, jingle bells, and Christmas socks. Bring any GOTR gear you have such as hand clappers, signs, etc. Girls are also welcome to decorate GOTR posters to hang on the float!
OTHER UPCOMING PARADES: Penbrook (10/8 at 7:00), Dillsburg (10/20 at 8:00), New Cumberland (10/23 at 7:30). Please contact Brandi at 487-6466 for more information!
