Atlanta State Park will be celebrating their 11 Annual Christmas in the Park. They do not have any spots left to camp but they invite visitors to join them for a drive-thru to look at all the beautiful Christmas decorations with the participation of the park guests. Santa, Mrs. Claus, The Grinch and Smokey Bear will be here to welcome people to the park for free. This year the event will be on December 18 and 19 from dark to 9:00 p.m.Journal-Sun Photo

It takes a village, or in this case, a community, to reach out to the homeless in these cold and Covid times. Thanks to the generosity of the Amity Study Club members and the residents of the Atlanta community, Cody Howard will be able to provide warmth to homeless individuals who are in need this winter. This is a real reason for the season. Merry Christmas. Pictured are left to right: Howard, Director of Mission Texarkana and Teri Lovely, President of Amity Study Club of Atlanta. Courtesy photo

Enjoy an evening of cheer to remember throughout the year at our 8th annual Christmas in the Park! Come on out to see the park dressed in its holiday best! This year, in order to protect Santa and his elves, the event will be drivethrough only. Please stay warm and snuggly in your vehicle as you make your way through the twinkling lights and towering pines. Keep those letters to Santa handy and be sure to drop them in the North Pole mailbox.
