PHOTOS BY YUTONG WANG/THE CAMPUS The Park Avenue Rehabilitation and Nursing Center featured two people dressed as Alice and the Mad Hatter from “Alice in Wonderland” in Meadville’s Halloween Parade on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016. The theme was “Nightmare on Chestnut Street.” The parade is the biggest annual Halloween parade in Pennsylvania and always draws a large crowd of spectators. The parade was hosted by Crawford Area Young Chamber of Commerce and was sponsered by local businesses and organizations. All costs exceeding the operational cost of the parade were donated to a chosen charity, which this year was St. James Haven, an overnight temporary homeless shelter for men in Meadville.
