BRIEFS Car parade, luminaria replaces Relay for Life The coronavirus has shelved the annual Shelton Relay for Life fundraising eventto sup]- port cancer research, but the nonprofit group is planning a car parade and luminaria Sept. 26 in downtown Shelton. Everyone is invited to add their car, truck, vintage auto- mobile, fire truck, police car and emergency vehicles to the parade, with participants gathering at the former Olsen’s Furniture parking lot at the corner of Fourth and Franklin streets. The parade will begin at noon, and wind through town for 30 to 45 minutes. Organizers plan to host a walk-through or drive-by luminaria celebration in the parking lot after the parade. Attendees can buy a luminaria bag in the memory of friends and family members who have died of cancer, or are surviving the disease. On May 30, a handful of Shelton Relay for Life team members made what turned out to be a trial run as Central Mason Fire & EMT led a car parade around town.
