Lowndes County communities are gearing up for their annual Christmas celebrations. With parades, health fairs, faith events and more, there is something planned to help children of all ages share the joy of the holiday season.

First on the list was the Town of Hayneville’s Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 7. The town’s annual parade was free to enter and attend, but organizers asked everyone to contribute a new, unwrapped toy. Toys for Tots volunteers were on hand to collect the toys for distribution in Lowndes County.

Hayneville’s parade will line up beginning at 9 a.m. and starting at 10 a.m., participants will process towards the square. For more information, please contact Hayneville Magistrate Tamare McCord at (334) 548-2128.
