Clemson hopes to get in tonight’s parade

Clemson is hopeful conditions will allow tonight’s Christmas parade to go on as scheduled — although rain, or drizzle, and patchy fog are in tonight’s forecast. If conditions so dictate, the city will issue an email at 10 o’clock this morning to residents and parade participants announcing a re-schedule date of Thursday.  Word will also go out on social media and the parks and recreation Facebook and Instagram.  If it’s a go for tonight, parade line-up will start at 5 pm and the parade will roll at 6.  At 4:30, College Avenue closes to Keith Street.  Access is to be blocked between College Avenue and all side streets.  Vehicles parked along College must be moved by 4 pm or they will be towed to clear the roadway. Additional road closings take place at 4:45.
