| KM Great Pumpkin Halloween Parade, October 31 |
|
Don’t be surprised to see Spiderman, Cinderella or Casper the Friendly Ghost gathering in downtown Kings Mountain as the City hosts the annual “Great Pumpkin Halloween Parade” on Wednesday, October 31. Children are invited to wear their favorite Halloween costume and gather at the City Hall Plaza on Cherokee Street at Gold Street at 10 am and walk with Mayor Rick Murphrey on the parade route to the Gazebo at Patriots Park for additional post parade activities.
Mauney Memorial Library’s Harris Children’s Department, in cooperation with Cleveland County Childcare Connections, Partnership for Children - Community Play and Learn Program, Smart Start, and NC Pre-K will provide entertainment, games, Halloween stories, songs, sing-along’s and a haystack search for Halloween goodies at Patriots Park.
One lucky individual, in each of the three age groups’ haystacks, will find the “Gold Pumpkin” and receive a $25.00 gift card to a local toy store. There will also be an inflatable giant slide and obstacle course. The Kings Mountain Police Department will provide reflective bags for treats to the children and the Kings Mountain Fire Department will have a fire truck on display. Local merchants are encouraged to dress in costumes to greet the children along the parade route.
Afterwards, children and parents are welcome to stay and play, have a picnic lunch or dine in one of the convenient downtown restaurants.
The parade will start above the City Hall Plaza, on Cherokee and Gold Streets, and continue to Battleground Ave., Mountain St. and south on Railroad Ave.
