FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Greenville Jaycees want the public to know that we are watching the weather closely as forecasts are predicting rain for Saturday. WITN reports that rain will be scattered throughout the day and heavy rains may hold off until after the parade. The parade is RAIN or SHINE, and at this time the Greenville Jaycees Christmas Parade will go on as scheduled for this Saturday morning – with a start time of 10:00 AM.

However, knowing all the hard work volunteers from the Greenville Jaycees, the participating community, church and civic groups as well as local area businesses have put in to preparing for the parade, the Greenville Jaycees have worked out an alternative plan to postpone the parade to a later date and time in the event of EXTREMELY HEAVY rain that would make it impossible to carry on. This decision will not be made until 8:00 AM Saturday morning. If the parade is postponed, WITN will publicize this change on their website, www.WITN.com, and their news broadcast. In addition, an announcement may be found on the Greenville Jaycees website, www.greenvillejaycees.com, and participants will be notified. Updates will follow about the new date and time for the parade once all details can be confirmed.

At this time, the Greenville Jaycees encourage all volunteers, participants and spectators to think positive thoughts about the rain holding off while preparing to get a little soggy. We appreciate your understanding and patience knowing that until tomorrow morning a decision regarding postponing the parade won’t be possible.
