AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The Augusta Christmas parade scheduled for Saturday has been canceled due to weather , disappointing participants who prepared floats and paid entry fees.

The event will not be rescheduled and the $150 entry fee will not be refunded, as it is considered a donation to the Ronald McDonald House.

“It is a donation to the cause. And that’s the great thing about it. At least we got a chance to give back to help them out,” said Charity Jones, owner of Pedal Pub in Augusta.

Jones had prepared her bikes for the parade, as they participate every year. “We had everything all ready for tomorrow we were going to put our decorations on tonight because it was raining,” she said.

Despite understanding the weather concerns, she wishes for a rescheduled date.
