Just past Eagleville and outside of Rutherford County, the Williamson Fire-Rescue Department has canceled their annual College Grove Christmas Parade due to COVID-19 restrictions and general public safety.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the more people an individual interacts with at a gathering and the longer that interaction lasts, the higher the potential risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 and COVID-19 spreading. They state that organizers should continue to assess, based on current conditions, whether to postpone, cancel, or significantly reduce the number of attendees for gatherings.
The Christmas Parade is normally held in College Grove on the first Sunday of December, with over 1,000 attendees and participants.
