NV clubs, organizations participate in Fall Festival parade
Food, fall, and fun were celebrated in Sylvania at the 27th Annual Fall Festival and Parade. Northview and the Sylvania community gathered to showcase the talents of many groups on October 20.
This event began with a parade from NV to Veterans Memorial Park. The Marching Band, Cheerleaders, Junior Cheerleaders, Senior Homecoming Court, and the cast and crew of Shrek: The Musical were all in the parade representing NV.
After the parade, the cast of Shrek sang five songs from the show.
“We were in the parade to promote and give a sneak preview of the show,” Director Don Wachowiak said.
The musical runs from November 21 to the 25, according to Mr. Wachowiak.
The marching band dressed up in costumes in the parade.
“I dressed up as a fairy in the band and we had a lot of fun playing Thriller,” sophomore Gina Murphy said.
Children dressed up in their Halloween costumes to watch the parade, and winners of the costume contest got trophies from Sylvan Studio. Many local businesses participated in the parade as well as various food vendors, including the Boy Scouts.
“I loved the parade and it was great to see Northview represented at the Fall Festival,” sophomore Anna Spinelli said.
Other bands and performers from around the area performed in the parade. This event draws many people and helps to attract customers to small businesses in Sylvania.
