IMPORTANT COLONY CHRISTMAS UPDATE
Due to forecasted high winds and out of an abundance of caution for public safety, the Colony Christmas Parade and Fireworks have been postponed to Friday, December 19th.
The safety of our community, volunteers, and participants, are our top priority. While this decision was not made lightly, weather conditions require us to take a cautious approach so everyone can enjoy these signature events safely.
