No matter how much rain fell Saturday, Clermont residents weren’t going to let that stop their celebration of the town’s centennial anniversary. The Hall County town’s residents gathered downtown to celebrate “The Clermont Days Centennial Festival” as part of a 100-year celebration. Saturday’s festivities included a 1900s-themed parade, car show and a 5-kilometer road race, to be followed by evening fireworks.
