Despite heat, hundreds turn out for weekend events

Temperatures reached into the 90s across Northeast Georgia over the weekend, but that didn't keep hundreds of people from turning out for special events.

In Helen, people lined Chattahoochee and Main streets Saturday afternoon for the annual Shriners Parade.

Red convertibles, specialty vehicles and mini cars kept visitors entertained with stunt routines, laughter, confetti and even water cannons to cool the crowd.

Saturday night, as the temperature lingered around 90 some 400 people gathered in downtown Toccoa for the latest installment in the Ida Cox Music Festival featuring The Maggie Valley Band.
