LIGHT UP THE TRACE ON THE DARKEST DAY OF THE YEAR!
Saturday, December 21st 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
On December 21, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. Since 2021, the JDC Economic Development District, in partnership with local civic and religious groups, has brightened the Longleaf Trace with luminarias—candles in paper lanterns—honoring our loved ones and remembering those who have passed.
This free event, a two-time recipient of Community Economic Development awards, adds a memorable glow to your holiday season. Come walk the illuminated trail or simply drive by to enjoy the view.

Join us for an evening of family fun and local entertainment starting with a live nativity at Carson Station at 5:00!

HEADS UP: All eyes will be on PTS #18 this week. It is forecasted to become Hurricane Rafael later this week as it moves northward into the Gulf. As of now, it is forecasted to weaken some before it reaches the northern Gulf Coast. This will likely threaten Mississippi by the end of the week.

The iconic Monarch butterfly is now officially an endangered species in North America. 🦋😔

Among the causes of their steep decline, the lack of milkweed (their caterpillar's host plant and exclusive food source) in undeniably the main one and by far. Together, we can reverse this course. Together, we can plant milkweed seeds and give monarchs a much needed breather.

Fall is the best season to plant milkweed. Our cold winters create physical and chemical reactions in milkweed seeds and increase their germination rates the following Spring. 🌱

You can order milkweed seeds now from our partner Lasclay (a great company by the way) on the link below and get an exclusive 30% discount with the following code: MONARCH30 (4 or more seed packets).

It's a small but very useful gesture, plus it makes a great gift for your loved ones!
Monarchs will surely thank you for it by paying you a visit next Spring 🦋🧡💪
