Sharon Car Parade To Support Whitney Place Staff, Residents

SHARON, MA — Sharon plans to show its support for the staff and residents of Whitney Place Assisted Living and Memory Care on Wednesday with a vehicle parade of decorated cars.

Family and friends of staff and residents are asked to decorate their vehicles with balloons, posters in the theme of "Heroes Work Here," "Pen Pals Are Our Heroes" and "We're In This Together." The Sharon Public Library is helping to organize the event.

The parade is scheduled to kick off at Shaw's on South Main Street and then go around Whitney Place so all residents can see it from their windows. Vehicles are asked to meet at 1:30 at the Shaw's parking lot.

Sharon police advised those traveling in the area at that time to expect traffic delays during the parade.

This is a social distancing event. Families are asked to stay in their cars and all participants are encouraged to wear face masks.

For more information on the event, contact Jessica Henderson, Head of Youth Services, at jhenderson@ocln.org.
