Mother Nature has done it again. Due to increasing chances of inclement weather, it has been decided that the annual Holiday in the Park Parade and the Fishing for the Food Bank event will be postponed from Saturday, November 22nd to until Saturday, November 29th. All other information pertaining to the event, such as the parade start time & the parade route will remain unchanged. That’s right folks, make sure your bellies are good and full from eating what is left of your Thanksgiving leftovers, and then grab the kids, pile up in the car, and head down to the park (Elmer Thomas Park), or your nearest parade route, to enjoy the festivities.
