Marlborough – The city of Marlborough has announced the details of the 2018 Marlborough Labor Day Favorite Parade Memory Essay Contest and Coloring Contest.
For 66 years, the parade has been a wonderful community event. This annual parade is a collaborative effort and provides the city of Marlborough with a platform to showcase all that it offers and the city’s shared community pride.
To celebrate its 67th parade and remember the wonderful memories this tradition has brought, Marlborough is holding the 2018 Marlborough Labor Day Favorite Parade Memory Essay Contest. They invite all members of the community to participate by submitting and essay (350 words or less) that describes their favorite Marlborough Labor Day Parade Memory or tradition.

All entries should be drawn on 8 ½ x 11-inch paper and should include the child’s name and age on the back. Each entry will be posted on the parade website.
