Here we are in November already.
November signals more than just Thanksgiving, it signifies the beginning of the entire holiday season.
Our cover story embodies that spirit with a longtime Christmas event that draws folks from all over the country and beyond — Trees of Christmas at Merrehope.
Tours at the Meridian mansion kick off this month on the 23rd and go through the season, wrapping up right after New Year’s Eve.
A regional production, decorators and designers traveled from Clarke County, Laurel, Philadelphia, Newton, Jasper County, the Gulf Coast, and from Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky to Merrehope to decorate the more than 70 trees featured at the event.
For many Mississippi families, Trees of Christmas at Merrehope is an annual tradition. This year’s event will be the 57th.
It’s something Mississippi families can count on, year after year.
Another thing Mississippi families can count on are their electric cooperatives.
The co-ops are always there in the background ensuring service to members.
Our priority is to provide affordable, reliable energy for our local communities.
We are also committed to giving back to our communities in all the different ways we do. Whether it’s through putting on membership events for fellowship, hosting our youth leadership program, or volunteering our time or money via community charities, you know you can count on your electric co-op.
We hope you have a great holiday season and enjoy the issue.
