Yule Parade is Thursday

The annual Cairo Christmas Parade has grown to 121 entries as of Tuesday, according to Cairo-Grady County Chamber of Commerce officials.

The parade steps off at 7 p.m. Thursday and will follow the traditional route south down Broad Street from the chamber and conclude at First United Methodist Church.

This year’s theme is “Christmas Under the Big Top.”
