The main attraction will be the opportunity to tube down a 75 foot Snow Slide. Kiddies will be able to meet jolly old Saint Nick and have their picture taken sponsored by Planters First Bank. Empire Dance and Performing Arts Studio will present a One Act Play entitled “All Aboard Cordele…. How Did We Get Here?” with shows at 5:30, 6:30, 7:00 and 7:30 PM.

Citizens can take time out from play in the Winter Wonderland to enjoy the city’s Annual Christmas Parade, sponsored by the Cordele Lions Club. “Rock Around the Christmas Tree” this year as parade entrants share what their favorite Christmas tune is. The parade will begin at 6 PM and travel south on 7th Street ending at 15th Avenue.
