SUMMARY: Amory, Mississippi, is launching a campaign to restore its community Christmas tree, a cherished tradition. Mayor Corey Glenn and Main Street Executive Director Rebecca Riddle emphasize the tree’s significance for community gatherings during the holiday season. A GoFundMe campaign aims to raise $32,000, with half raised so far, targeting the tree’s installation for this Christmas. Along with the tree, a flagpole will be added to fly a large flag year-round.
