<body><div><h2>County Christmas celebration coming December 8</h2><p>The annual Christmas parade and celebration on the courthouse lawn is scheduled for Monday, December 8, with the parade down Main Street to begin at 6 p.m., followed by the gathering around the courthouse for the tree lighting and other fun and festivities.</p><p>“We are excited to be bringing the community together and making such joyful Christmas memories,” said Paula Williams, Chamber of Commerce Event Coordinator.</p><p>The parade will feature fire trucks and other local government vehicles all decorated for the holidays, along with holiday floats sponsored by local businesses and organizations. The public is invited to attend, and those wishing to participate in the parade are to be lined up south of the railroad depot by 5:30 p.m.</p><p>At the parade’s conclusion, those attending should expect to be dazzled by the large tree and decorations on the courthouse lawn, where Love County’s Board of Commissioners and courthouse officials have recently invested to turn the block into a Christmas wonderland.</p><p>Activities on the courthouse lawn will include performances by local school choirs who will be presenting holiday music on the Frontier Stage, along with hot chocolate and many other Christmas goodies provided by local groups.</p><p>Another big part of the tradition of Love County Christmas is the annual food drive. Residents are asked to bring five nonperishable food items to receive a ticket for drawings for cash and prizes worth hundreds of dollars. There is no limit to the number of items that may be donated or tickets that may be received, but you must be present to win. The donated items will benefit local families.</p><p>The highlight of the evening is the presence of Santa and Mrs. Claus, who will be available for photographs at no charge to families. Event coordinators also hinted that a visit from the Grinch is not out of the question.</p><p>“There’s something truly magical about the tradition of the annual tree lighting,” said Chamber President Kendra Tucker, “and there’s something special about Christmas that gently reminds us of what truly matters. It inspires us to slow down, to think of others, and to give with open hearts. That’s why the food drive is such an important part of this celebration.”</p><p>The event could not be held without the cooperation and generosity of several local businesses and dozens of volunteers, including Love County government, the City of Marietta, Love County Chamber of Commerce, Love County Senior Program, Mercy Health Love County, Marietta’s First Baptist Church, and many others.</p></div></body>
