Day Tripping... Suggestions for a super autumn • • In New England! -This Week- Bands, officials all lined up for 'bigger, better' parade
By Esther Shein
"Allston-Brighton is going to sink into the ground this weekend under the wave of all the politicians and bands on Sunday," declares Parade Committee Chairman Joe Hogan. An estimated 25-30 bands are expected for this year's third annual parade. "We've got far more quality this year-it's going to be bigger and bet ter," he says proudly. The event-filled weekend kicks off Saturday with a cattle fair~ sponsored by the Brighton Congregational Church with assistance from the Brighton Board of Trade. In past years the BBOT hasheld fairs the day before the parade, but "some mer chants have felt the street fair was ~ounterproductive to business," ex plains president Frank Moy. "We wanted to do a family fair outside Brighton Center in [late] September, but the cost of liability insur ance .. ,made it not in our best in terest to do so." Instead, the BBOT has provided banners for the fair and will sell large, colorful posters of Allston-Brighton, with the proceeds going to benefit the Church's 160th anniversary next year. Dancers in elaborate costume delight youngsters along Washington Street during last year's Allston-Brighton Parade. This year's promises "We thought it would be good for ,,to be'the best one yet, according to Parade Chairman Joe Hogan. people to learn more about the church," says Reverend Paul Pitman.

A week ago Monday, teachers arrived to find construction paper strewn all over the floor, broken crayons and dead goldfish floating in orange juice. A calculator (that was replaced after the April break-in) and a $250 phone were taken from Jackman's desk. Then on Tuesday, the teachers arrived at 'the school, only to find more damage.
