Carriage rides offered Saturday

Saturday’s Christmas celebration in Marion will offer more than the annual parade down Main Street at 2 p.m.

Lori’s Carriage Rides of Ozark, Ill., will be offering horse-drawn tours beginning at noon from the parking lot of First Cumberland Presbyterian Church on West Bellville Street. The cost of rides will be $3 per person. The carriages may seat up to six comfortably.

There will be a short break from the rides from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m., in order for the carriage to transport 2011 grand marshal Judy Winn along the parade route.
