Cass County Today

The  Atlanta area Chamber of Commerce  is going to launch a new event this year, the Children’s Independence Day Parade on July 6th, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. It will be a mini-parade (with an altered and shortened route) consisting of bikes, tricycles, wagons, battery-operated cars, pets and more. This will probably be one of the most adorable things that’s ever happened to the Atlanta Area, so make sure your kids, grand kids, and fur kids don’t miss out!
