Halloween Parade Marches on Main Street
For the first time in a long time, the annual Saucon Valley Halloween Parade marched down Main Street in Hellertown, where crowds cheered for floats, bands and hometown heroes.
The day couldn't have been more perfect for the annual Saucon Valley Halloween Parade on Sunday, as thousands of spectators enjoyed the colorful sites and sounds it spread throughout Hellertown.
A number of local middle and high school marching bands performed traditional songs, while most parade participants tossed handfuls of candy to anxious children along the route.
Following is a list of 2011 parade winners and sponsors, provided by parade chairman David Heintzelman.
