Just a reminder to join us tomorrow night for the annual Cedartown Christmas Parade!

The parade starts at 6 p.m., and will run a northbound route from East Ellawood Avenue to East Queen Street.

We have 70 entries this year! We've got marching bands, decorated entries, 30+ floats, and of course, Santa Claus ❤❤❤❤❤

Mr. Freddy Arencibia will lead the parade this year as Grand Marshal. You might know Mr. Arencibia from his 16 years serving children and families as an advocate and a translator with Polk School District. Or maybe you know him from his 34 years of working at Charter Cable ... or his service on the Cedartown Exchange Club ... or his dedication to St. Bernadette's Catholic Church. No matter how you know him, one thing's for certain -- Mr. Freddy has a servant's heart, a contagious smile, and is always willing to help his community.
