Onlookers lined both sides of Main Street in Lula Saturday morning, as the 39th Annual Railroad Days Parade and Festival began the day’s events that celebrate the rich railroad history of Lula. Starting with the parade at 10 a.m. the festival, offered guests live entertainment, vendor booths featuring local produce, handmade arts and crafts and other unique finds. Children had the opportunity to enjoy a selection of air-filled bouncy houses or a ride on a miniature train.
