EVANS, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Kaedynn Olds has been dancing and winning competitions for 12 years, collecting trophies and awards along the way.

But it was one competition she won last year that got her preparing for her biggest performance yet — the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Viewers and supporters can see her between 10:08 and 10:38 a.m. in the parade, which will be televised on WAGT Channel 26.

She will be part of the “Spirit of America Dancers” and will be in the back right corner of the formation.

“I am so excited. I’m counting down the days, I can’t wait. Everything about it is surreal,” Olds said ahead of the big day.
