VALDOSTA — A little rain didn’t dampen the holiday spirit Friday night as the City of Valdosta and Lowndes County celebrated the lighting of the city’s Christmas tree and other holiday decorations throughout downtown.
Hundreds of people showed up to watch the spectacle and to have children’s photos taken with Santa Claus.
Unfortunately, the weather worsened into Saturday, forcing the postponement of the city’s Christmas parade planned for Saturday night. When the city announced the change on its Facebook page, it said a new date for the parade will be decided next week.
