Magic Wheelchair Costume to Be Revealed at Halloween Stroll

The Stoneham Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Stoneham TV and the Stoneham Recreation Department, is excited to announce that part of this year's Halloween Stroll festivities will include the unveiling of a Magic Wheelchair costume.

Magic Wheelchair is a non-profit organization that builds epic costumes for kids in wheelchairs, at no cost to their families. Their mission is to bring communities together to create unforgettable moments for children by transforming their wheelchairs into magic. This year, we are honored to have a special 6 year old boy receive his "magic wheelchair" at our event.

We invite all members of the community to join us on the Stoneham Town Common on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 2:30PM to meet Parker, a remarkable boy living with cerebral palsy and epilepsy to watch him debut his Halloween costume. Parker is from Billerica with family in Stoneham and he loves attention and turtles! The design team at Magic Wheelchair can't wait to give Parker his very own one-of-a-kind costume and we can't wait to celebrate this amazing boy by filling the Common with well-wishers.

The 10th Annual Halloween Stroll will be held on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 2:00-4:00PM. This year, we are excited to again partner with Stoneham TV, the Stoneham Recreation Department and area local businesses to offer trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, crafts, activities and more!

This year's Stroll is made possible by through the generosity of presenting sponsor, NV The Salon and corporate sponsors Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, Dr. Diane Bonanni, DMD and Subway.
