Moosup Lodge participates in parades throughout Connecticut, and hosts the Masonic contingent in the Moosup VJ Day Parade -- the last remaining Victory over Japan Day celebration in the United States. Moosup Lodge or a member of its Masonic contingent has garnered the parade marshals' Outstanding Fraternal Order award the last four years running.

Buses depart from the Lodge's front door to the parade step-off site until 12:00 noon. The parade steps off promptly at 1:01 PM, marking the exact moment of the Japanese surrender, and terminates directly in front of Moosup Lodge, where marchers from the Blue Lodges and appendant bodies converge to enjoy a buffet meal.

Moosup Lodge Scholarship

Two scholarships are awarded annually at the Moosup Lodge Scholarship Banquet. The banquet is held in January of each year, and includes a 'soup-to-nuts' roast beef meal at a minimal cost, followed by an extensive raffle of items donated by local businesses and lodge supporters.

	Moosup Lodge has donated over $10,000 in scholarships since the program's inception in 1982, and we are very proud of our recipients' successes.
	The scholarships are open to any high school student residing within the boundaries of the towns of Plainfield or Sterling, or to any relative of a Moosup Lodge brother, or to any active member of the local Demolay or Rainbow chapters. To qualify, the candidate must complete an application (available from the Plainfield High School guidance office or from a Lodge officer), maintain a cumulative high school grade point average of at least 80 (2.7 of 4.0), and be accepted at an accredited post-secondary institution. Additionally, all candidates must submit to a personal interview by the Moosup Lodge Scholarship Committee. Recipients are named at their respective high school's baccalaureate excercises, however, cash stipends are not presented until the Scholarship Banquet, following the recipient's successful completion of his or her first semester of schooling.
