The Tuscarawas County Board of Developmental Disabilities will host a drive-thru parade in celebration of Developmental Disabilities Awareness month from noon to 2 p.m. March 23 at the TBDD campus, 610 Commercial Ave. SW, New Philadelphia.
The event will be free of charge to drive-thru guests and participants. Participants are asked to bring giveaway items in addition to any promotional materials from an agency or group.

A table and chair can be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
