Christmas in Roachdale

Banner Graphic/Jared Jernagan With Christmas in Roachdale going on throughout Friday evening, a short parade rolled through downtown around 6 p.m. Touting all the spots Greene Realty sells, a gingerbread house was the standout float of the evening. No word on the asking price for the edible edifice.

The evening also featured giveaways at several local businesses, author Malcolm Romine signing his book “Roachdale Through the Years” and a live nativity at Roachdale Baptist Church.
