Thanks to the Mary Willis Library, Antique Exchange, Farmers and Merchants Bank, Gail Hill, Janet Thornton, Subway, Cathy Overstreet, Washington Plantation B&B, Regions Bank, Carol McTier, Harpers Painting, Candy Callaway, Carol Davis, Farmers State Bank, The Garden Party, Hendricks Florist, Petal Pushers, Otter Creek Gardens, Post Oak Farms, Terry’s IGA, Bi-Lo, Debbie Danner, Ruth Harris and students, Bes Moore, Dr. Stan Coe and family, and Susan Carter.

Special thanks to Whitley Hodges, Amber Ware, and all the parents and grandparents of the many students who performed at Callaway which added that unique touch of an old-fashioned Christmas. Also special thanks to Thomas Dozier and his staff for their constant assistance during the event. And thank God for the perfect weather.

The decorations will remain up through December 25. If you did not get a chance during the Christmas tour last weekend, you are most welcome to visit during normal scheduled hours.

Callaway Plantation is always looking for volunteers. If you would like to volunteer during group tours this spring or summer, please call the plantation at 706-678-7060.
