Dear Mayor Pettit,
The North Augusta Lions Club respectfully requests a permit to hold the annual North
Augusta Lions Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 2, 2018, starting at 3:00 pm.
(please note time change from 2p to 3p)
We also request the assistance of North Augusta Public Safety to provide traffic control
and set up barricades for the parade as in past years. The North Augusta Lions Club
Parade Committee has reached out to Lt. Verne Sadler to discuss parade
logistics. And, we intend to keep NA Public Safety fully informed of our plans for this
event.
We thank North Augusta leadership allowing the Lions Club to present this annual event
to the city and to see the smiles on the faces of young and old as Santa is welcomed to
North Augusta!
