SUMMARY:78th Annual Alexander County Christmas Parade
DESCRIPTION:Event: \nThe popular parade officially kicks off the Christmas season in Alexander COunty with floats\, marching bands\, emergency vehicles\, beauty queens\, sports teams\, elected officials\, and much more! The parade begins on Liledoun Road\, turns right onto Main Avenue through town\, turns right onto Main Avenue Drive (at the old hotel)\, turns left onto NC Hwy 16 South (near Adams Funeral Home)\, turns right onto 1st Ave SW (near the Post Office)\, and then left onto 7th Street SW. \n  \nAbout: \nAlexander County was established in 1847\, the year of the first sale of land in the county seat (Taylorsville). With the proceeds from the sale\, the first courthouse was built on the present site. When the Civil War began\, Alexander County was 14 years old. The 1860 population was 5\,837; yet Alexander County ranked high per capita in the number of Confederate soldiers serving in the war. The county is named in honor of the Alexander family who were leaders in Colonial North Carolina. Taylorsville is the namesake of either John Louis Taylor\, Carolina agriculturist and political philosopher\, or General Zachary Taylor\, the 12th president of the United States.

SUMMARY:Ann Freeman Dance Academy Presents 'The Nutcracker'
