First, all of Friday night’s activities and events are cancelled. According to the National Weather Service, rain is supposed to move into the area Friday night.
Most of Saturday’s events have been moved to Sunday, however, the pageant will still be held Saturday at 11 a.m. and Santa Claus will be at J.R. Williams for free pictures Saturday from 12 p.m .-3 p.m. Most of Saturday’s events have been rescheduled for Sunday.
According to the Beaver Dam Tourism Commission, this is the schedule for Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018:
