The holidays have arrived! And the best way to get into the Christmas spirit in Greene County is to celebrate with the annual Christmas parade, held by the Greene County Chamber of Commerce on December 7 in downtown Waynesburg. The execution of the Parade was underwritten by First Energy Foundation and without their support, this event would not happen.
106 entries appeared on Saturday representing various schools, churches, civic organizations, and businesses from all over the county. The parade was streamed live on the Greene County Chamber of Commerce’s Facebook page and is avilable there for those that missed it.
