Even without the traditional parades, folks in Marion and Old Fort still had some much needed holiday fun with the Christmas Community Car Caravan Challenge.
On Saturday, Dec. 5, the Marion East, West Marion and Old Fort community forums all participated in the Car Caravan Challenge. It was an alternative to the traditional Christmas parade, which wonât take place this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the challenge, families from Marion and Old Fort decorated their cars for Christmas, gathered at designated spots in each community and then traveled through their communities. They traveled on Main Street in Marion and Main Street in Old Fort.
