Parade reset

— The annual Christmas parade was rained out.

Originally scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3, the parade has been rescheduled for 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10. It will be followed by a Christmas lighting ceremony on the school grounds downtown across from City Hall and Santa Claus will be in City Hall to visit with children.

This was the first time the parade has been canceled or postponed.

“Not that I remember,” Mayor Jackie Crabtree, in office since 1995, said he could not remember any time that the parade had been canceled.

The parade, sponsored by Beta Alpha, began in 1995.
