Town of Stem issued the following announcement on Nov. 27.
Good evening folks,
We are terribly sorry that Santa was not able to make our parade this year. There was a misunderstanding about the time of the parade. We know everyone was disappointed. We hope you will give us another chance next year.
There will still be plenty of opportunities to see Santa in our area this Christmas season. The Stem Fire Department will drive Santa through Stem on December 16th. The Butner and Creedmoor Parades will take place on Saturday December 3rd. And Santa will make a stop at the Carlee Farm Holiday Marketplace on December 10 from 11am-3pm.
Edited to add: Santa will also be at the Stem Ruritan Club on December 10 from 10am-1pm!
