Parade of Lights postponed to Sunday

One entry for the Parade of Lights drove through Capaha Park on Sunday afternoon.

The parade was canceled Sunday because of rain and cold weather, but has been rescheduled for next Sunday. The parade, scheduled to start at 5 p.m. at Capaha Park, is the annual kick-off event for the holiday season in Cape Girardeau. Similar weather conditions in 2007 also forced postponement, the first in the parade's 17-year history.

Temperatures in Cape Girardeau held in the upper 30s all day Sunday, with intermittent rain. More than 100 groups had planned to take part in the parade.
