DUNCAN ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARADE

Duncan’s Annual Christmas Parade was held on Saturday, December 12th. The event had its start at James F. Byrnes High School’s parking lot and it was filled with fire trucks, the Spartanburg Sheriffs Department, old “Hillbilly Clan” vehicles, students and band members, JROTC cadets, and many more volunteers and participants. The parade started at ten o’clock and lasted over an hour. The massive line of participants started walking from Byrnes through the town of Duncan. Duncan citizens and visitors lined the sides of the roads as the watch the incredible display of participants.

After the parade was over our cadets returned to BHS for some much needed refreshment!
