MEDIA >> Those hoping for the scare of their life Saturday will have to hold their horses for one more day.

Saturday’s wet, stormy forecast has forced officials to postpone the 54th annual Delaware County Halloween Parade until Sunday.

The parade will step off rain or shine Sunday at 1 p.m. in downtown Media.

Bands, mascots, floats, marching units, Scouts, antique cars, homecoming queens, clowns, cheerleade­rs and other imaginativ­e groups, as well as countless costumed individual­s and families, will line up on State Street and parade through the streets in the center of Media to celebrate the fall season.

The parade will be about one hour long.

The parade, sponsored by Pro Tree Services, is coordinate­d by Town Talk Newspapers and the Delco News Network.

On parade day, participat­ing group leaders should check in with the parade officials at the intersecti­on of State and Edgmont streets, Media, no later than 12:15 p.m. Groups will be told where to stand until it is their time to march. No registrati­on is necessary for individual marchers.

The parade will form at the school field, starting promptly at 1 p.m., and proceed west on State Street.

This free community event bans politics and hidden agendas. It’s all about family fun and allowing everyone to either entertain or be entertaine­d throughout the parade route.

For safety reasons, participan­ts are asked not to throw candy at the staging area.

For more informatio­n or to register a group or band, call 610-9152253 or email towntalkev­ents@yahoo.com.
