🇺🇸🎪 Sahara Grotto was proud to take part in the Acton Memorial Day Parade this weekend — and what a day it was!
We had an incredible clown turnout with:
• 3 Grotto clowns (including Stubby proudly wearing his fez instead of makeup 🎩)
• 2 Shrine clowns
• 4 affiliate clowns and family members helping spread smiles and throw candy
It was the best clown showing we’ve had in over 10 years!
The fun didn’t stop when the parade ended. On the way home, leftover candy turned into random acts of kindness — brightening the day for kids at Kroger (with parents’ permission of course!) and even delivering a hat full of treats to local firefighters to thank them for their service. The smiles we received in return reminded us exactly why we do this.
And the best part?
NO BREAKDOWNS. ALL SMILES!!! 😄🎉
Thank you to everyone who came out, waved, laughed, and helped make the day special. Community, fellowship, fun, and service — that’s what Sahara Grotto is all about. 🇺🇸🤝
