The Alpha Fire Co. will celebrate its centennial with a parade beginning tomorrow at noon. The parade is the fire company's first since the 1970's, Capt. James Brown said. It will feature a variety of firefighting equipment and marching bands from around the state.
Participants can register up through the day of the parade.
A registration table will be set up at Beaver Field, off of Park Avenue near Beaver Stadium, Brown said. The parade route will travel the same route the homecoming parade typically follows. From Park Avenue, the parade will cross University Drive to Curtin Road, take Curtin Road to Shortlidge Road, follow Shortlidge Road down to College Avenue, go west on College Avenue to Burrowes Road, turn north up Burrowes Road and disperse at Pollock Road. Brown said the parade should be finished well before the kickoff of the Penn State-Miami football game.
