Parks & Rec., CAASA to host Blast Off Event 8/25

Canton Town Administrator Charles Doody is pleased to invite residents to the Summer Blast Off event presented by the Parks and Recreation Department and the Canton Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA) on Friday, August 25, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Pequitside Farm, 79 Pleasant Street.

The event will feature a “Canton’s Got Talent” show, family-friendly games, inflatables, face painting and food.

All ages are welcome to participate in Canton’s Got Talent. Both solo acts and group performances (under five minutes each) are welcome, and prizes will be offered.

Following the talent show, a family-friendly movie will be shown and popcorn will be provided. The movie, to be announced, will begin at 8:30 p.m. Families are encouraged to bring chairs and/or blankets.

Both portions of the Summer Blast Off event are being funded by CAASA and are free to attend. However, anyone planning to attend the event, including the talent show and/or movie, is asked to pre-register at tinyurl.com/canton-blast-off to assist with planning.

CAASA representatives will also be present at the event to share information and resources, and residents are reminded to attend the alliance’s annual Celebration of Life on the following Thursday, August 31, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Canton Senior Center. Held in conjunction with International Overdose Awareness Day, the event honors the memory of those lost to and still struggling with the illness of addiction.
