I just spoke with the Chamber of Commerce- Big Sandy. The parade is still happening this evening. The rain chances have gone down, with a 45% chance at 5:00 pm, falling to a 15% chance at 6:00 pm and throughout the parade times. I'll keep you posted if there are any changes for this evening, but at this time, please plan on attending the Big Sandy Christmas Parade tonight, Thursday, December 13th, which starts at 6:30 pm!

FYI....an emergency helicopter has landed on the baseball field in order to pick someone up from an ambulance in Big Sandy. The baseball field is the assigned location for the landing whenever someone must be transported by helicopter. This situation does not involve anyone from the school.
