Inaugural Parade Cancelled

AUSTIN – The 2007 Texas Inaugural Parade, scheduled to take place Tuesday from Noon to 1:30 p.m. along Congress Avenue, has been cancelled. Freezing rain and ice have prevented workers from constructing bleachers and street barricades necessary to conduct the parade. Further winter storm warnings for overnight tonight and tomorrow morning also could jeopardize parade participants.

Editor’s note: We are told, however, that the inauguration ceremony is still set for 10am Tuesday on the south steps of the Capitol, but it will likely be moved inside to the House chamber.
