When the weather outside turned frightful, Lathrop kept holiday festivities delightful

When the city of Lathrop was forced to cancel its Christmas parade amidst a winter storm that hit California this past weekend, local leaders were determined not to let a little rain spoil the fun.

“While Mother Nature knows how much we need rain, she’s unfortunately rained on our parade,” city officials wrote in a social media post as they announced the cancellation of the event.
