LIFE The Times, Gainesville, Georgia | gainesvilletimes.com Midweek Edition-December 2-3, 2020 3B PARADE ■ Continued from 2B open longer to welcome holiday shoppers. Starting Wednesday, Dec. 2, Cathy McLendon, information specialist at the Dahlonega Visitors Center, said horse-drawn carriage rides will run each day — not including Christmas — until the end of December. Weather per mitting, she said three car riages will be on the square at a time to give people a tour of the town’s historic district. Dahlonega Carriage and Horse Rides will offer the experience on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 13 and under. Dahlonega Christmas Parade The annual Christmas parade will kick off at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, in downtown Dahlonega. Angelia Wilson, who coordinates the parade, said the floats and other vehicles will start at Dahlonega Baptist Church, located at 234 Hawkins St., move through the square on East Main Street past the Dahlonega Gold Museum and turn around at the “annex building” on Enota Street. The parade will loop back and end at the church. Wilson said the path has changed into a loop this year to keep the crowd size down and encourage people to space out on both sides of the street. A map of the route can be found at dahlonegachristmas.com/ christmas-parade. Wilson said Dahlonega has held its traditional parade for over 20 years. In years with good weather, she said thousands of peo ple have gathered for the event. For Dec. 12, she asks that people practice social distancing. “We would encourage people to stay within their own family groups,” Wil son said. “We want people to enjoy themselves, but be safe. It is a community event.” The deadline for parade entries is Tuesday, Dec. 1. To register your vehicle or float, call Wilson at 706- 892-9741 or email her at info@dahlonegachristmas. com. Cash prizes of $150 will be presented to partici pants who win in the four categories: walkers/ani mals, golf carts, vehicles and floats. A grand prize of $250 will be awarded for “Best Overall Parade Participant.” The judg ing will take place at 3 p.m., and the winners will be announced during the parade. “They’re judging on orig inality and just having that community involvement with Christmas,” Wilson said. “We call ourselves ‘Old Fashioned Christmas’ because Dahlonega is an old town. We like that hometown feeling.” Other festivities happening during Dahlonega’s Old Fashioned Christmas: ■ 6-8 p.m. Dec. 12 and Dec. 19.

COMMUNIS NEWS Local Girl Scout troop recognized for Don Carter State Park garden project Hall County’s Girl Scout Troop 10878 recently earned the Silver Award, the highest honor the organization’s cadettes can achieve. The troop from North Hall Middle School, made up of seven members, received this recognition after com pleting a pollinator garden and an entrance beautification garden at Don Carter State Park. Because of the pandemic, the troop took separate trips to Full Bloom Nurs ery to pick up the plants needed for the garden. Each girl conducted research on a different plant species to make sure it was a good fit for the space. Hall County Master Gardeners offered their expertise to the girls, showing them how to sow seeds in the winter and explaining the importance of native plants for pollinators. “We are a team in all aspects of this project.,” Nita Baker, the troop’s leader, said in a press release. “We weren’t going to let this stop these girls, they were determined to do this and modern technology, Zoom, Canvas and FaceTime only helped us.” Lori Hamby, Don Carter State Park’s assistant park manager, a for mer Silver and Gold Award Girl Scout recipient, said she was happy the troop chose the park. “The beautification project the girls did will ensure a welcoming site for all the visitors coming to Don Carter, and the award will be a lasting memento to their hard work and dedication,” Hamby said in a press release.
