Special to The Pass Post
Even though the weather is getting consistently warmer and progressing towards summer, Pass Christian Main Street is currently in the process of making plans for holiday decorations. Many of the existing decorations are fifteen years old, so, this year, the organization is seeking to refurbish the decorations that are salvageable. Many of the original community-sponsored lighted stars require repairs, and all of them that are usable need to be updated from incandescent bulbs to LED bulbs. In addition, some new and replacement decorations need to be purchased.
Pass Christian Main Street is working with the City’s Beautification Department on the project, but is asking for public support to help fund the repairs and purchases.
Multiple options and levels are available, starting with a $250 sponsorship, which would pay for rust treatment, painting, wiring and replacement of bulbs in a small star. The organization has forty small stars that need to be repaired. A $400 sponsorship will cover refurbishment of a large star, of which the organization has sixteen needing repair.
New decorations also need to be purchased. The new designs range in price from $500 to $1,700 and include stars, pelicans, sailboats and turtles.
All sponsorships are tax-deductible.
Pass Christian Main Street President Anita Giani said, “We hope you will consider one of these options so that, together, we can continue to make Pass Christian a magical place during the holidays!”
Sponsorship checks can be sent to Pass Christian Main Street, P.O. Box 403, Pass Christian, MS 39571. For more information, call 228-452-3315.
