But the spectators and participants who were there didn’t let the downpour dampen their spirits.

Here are some scenes from Saturday’s parade, which kicked off at 1 p.m.

The City of Buckhannon’s Christmas parade is slated for 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7.

There was no shortage of twirling groups at Saturday’s parade.
