The Centralia Halloween Parade committee delivered a pizza party to a Schiller Kindergarten students on Monday to announce one of their classmates had their entry selected as the theme for this year’s parade.
Parade Chair Butch Mathis made the announcement.
“This year was chosen by a kindergarten at Schiller School. This year’s theme is Pumpkin Jamboree. It was turned in by Korbin Thompson. And believe it or not this will be the youngest theme winner we’ve ever had since the inception of the theme contest for the Centralia Halloween Parade. We are here to show our appreciation and looking forward to this year’s parade.”
The six-year-old Thompson is the son of Kandace Myers and Ty Thompson. He is in Sandra Johnson’s class at Schiller School.
As the winner, Thompson will be honored by riding through the parade and at a pre-parade reception.
The Fall Festival and Halloween Parade are set for Saturday night, October 29th.
