The annual Christmas parade, sponsored by the Glasgow Lifesaving Crew, will be held on Saturday, Dec. 7, at 4 p.m. The parade will follow the traditional route through town and end at the squad building on McCulloch Street where light refreshments will be served, Santa will be on hand to talk to the children, and parade awards will be given. The grand marshal this year will be Town Manager Allyson Finchum.
