Christmas parade Saturday, rain or shine

The weather outside may not be delightful on Saturday, but Habersham County’s annual Christmas Parade in Clarkesville will go forward, an organizer said today.

The Weather Channel is currently forecasting a high of 64 degrees with a 90 percent chance of rain so rain gear will be in order.

Glenda Smith, one of the parade organizers this year, said the parade will go forward regardless of weather. The only exception would be if the city’s emergency coordinators felt it was unsafe. That looks unlikely for this year.

The parade starts at 10:00am. and winds through downtown Clarkesville.  For full details, check the Clarkesville website at www.clarkesvillega.com.

Note that street closures and restricted parking will begin early Saturday morning.
