Holiday Greetings Golden Triangle and all the surrounding areas!
It was an honor to serve as this year’s Grand Marshal for the 200th anniversary of Columbus and the Christmas parade. I would like to thank the Main Street board, especially executive director Mrs. Barbara Bigelow and the Main Street Committee for providing me with such a great opportunity and a lifetime experience with my family and to connect with friends, customers, acquaintances and children from all over. Thank you to the City of Columbus and to all of the greater Lowndes county area for your support, encouragement, kindness, and most of all the love you have poured out so generously for me and my family.
In closing, remember to help someone and show kindness whenever possible. I wish every one of you a safe, warm and joyous holiday season.
Warm holiday wishes,
Ms. Helen J. Karriem, Columbus
