The Parsons Elks Lodge has announced that they will not hold the 2021 St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The decision was made due to the uncertainty of health concerns as well as the weather. The Parsons Elk Lodge informed the city department heads regarding the cancellation, and they supported the decision.

The organization stressed that planning will begin for the 2022 parade later this year and that there is a great deal of optimism about putting together the 2022 event.
