PRESS RELEASE
November 23, 2020
 
North Augusta, SC - The North Augusta Lions Club has made the difficult decision to cancel the 40^th Annual Christmas Parade scheduled for December 6, 2020.  We make this decision after hours of review of current entries, consultation with officials, some past participants, sponsors and health professionals and out of concern for the safety of our citizens, participants and volunteers.
 
We ask for your understanding and support.  Thank you to our sponsors, club members and volunteers for all you have done to champion the Lions Club and our annual initiatives.
 
The North Augusta Lions Club is committed to the Christmas parade and look forward to hosting our 40^th annual event (Disney theme) BIGGER and BETTER on December 5, 2021.  We send you blessings for a joyous Thanksgiving and wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
