“Don’t have a costume? It’s fun to come out and just enjoy the show,” said DPA Executive Director Kathy Ray. “There are hundreds of costumed children on parade, dancing, howling, delicious food, music and 17 booths with activities, all in a fabulous setting, beautiful Downtown Paris! We are excited to have the cast of The Addams Family from Bethel University assisting with the costume contests and visiting with all the children.”
