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. Live nativity in

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.
