LAURINBURG — With 200 entries for the annual Jackon’s Diesel Laurinburg Christmas Parade, Saturday’s parade will be a sight to see.
Going from Railroad Street straight down South Main Street and ending at Plaza Road, the route is just over 2 miles long, allowing plenty of room for families to gather on the side of the streets to watch. The parade begins at 3 p.m.
The lineup time for those in the parade begins at 12:30 p.m. and entries must be in line by 1:45 p.m. Those with homemade floats will be judged at 5 p.m. There will be a shuttle service for those walking or riding in the parade from the Scotland High School football visitor lot to Railroad Street and entries are asked to enter the lineup from Turnpike Road.
“For those who can’t come out and see it in person, we will be live streaming it on our Facebook page,” said Laurinburg-Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chris English. “We’ll be having Gary Gallman as our MC this year so tune in if you’re unable to make it.”
