The Shepherdstown Easter Parade will take place on German Street on April 7 at 11 a. m. Participation in the parade is welcome from all and festive Easter dress, costumes and hats are encouraged. Registration starts at 10 a.m. at the corner of German and Church streets. Be a part of a small town tradition and trot down German Street with the Easter Bunny and other cheerful marchers. Several judges stationed in front of the Shepherdstown Library on the parade route will be awarding prizes to the best Easter hats in several different categories. Categories in different age groups include best boy, girl, adult, family and pet. The event will be capped off with an Easter Egg Hunt in the back lawn of White Hall. A special thank you to parade organizers and volunteers including Shepherdstown Elementary School and the Shepherdstown Business Association.
