This year’s event was especially meaningful, providing a joyful day for all after the community’s challenges following Tropical Storm Helene. Friends, families, and neighbors gathered to watch and cheer on the students as they walked through town, collecting treats and sharing laughter. The day’s festivities underscored the importance of unity and brought everyone together in a fun and memorable way, celebrating the essence of fall in Weaverville.
