We’re heading into Christmas week and, despite more rain in the forecast, Helen is getting ready to celebrate with a parade
Last weekend’s stormy weather forced Helen and another Northeast Georgia town, Royston, to postpone their parades. With rain again in the forecast this weekend, Royston announced Thursday is has canceled its parade, but Helen is going on with its festivities.
“There is light rain in the forecast, but as long as there is no lighting or storms, the parade will take place,” a notice on the city’s website states.
