COVID-19 puts annual events in question, cancels some

More and more people are putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, but officials say holiday decorations will not go up in Tallassee until after the fourth Thursday in November.

“I told them after Thanksgiving,” Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock said. “I don’t want to take anything away from Thanksgiving. That’s something some people may disagree with me on that, but let’s get through Thanksgiving. That’s a very important holiday as well, so let’s put them up right after Thanksgiving.”
