Grand Marshals Selected for Celebrate Holliston Parade

Written by Julia Alfred, age 9, Girl Scout Troop 67202

Spencer and Penny, local therapy dogs, are the official Parade Grand Marshals for Celebrate Holliston 2022. Spencer and Penny celebrated their 12th and 10th birthdays this past summer with a community party.

They cheer on Boston Marathon runners, visit local hospitals, and make our town smile every day with their Facebook Pupdates. Spencer and Penny visit Holliston schools to help students take a calming break from their work. They enjoy elk antlers, flexible frisbees, and belly rubs!

When they are not serving the community, Spencer and Penny enjoy relaxing at home with their humans, Rich and Dorrey Powers, cats Tawney and Gabby, and parrot Henry. You can wave to Spencer and Penny as they lead the Celebrate Holliston Parade on September 24, 2022, at 9 am
