Christmas is almost here. This is the time that all of the great holiday celebrations in West Alabama begin to ramp up. Tonight, we have another great event in Northport.
It's the holiday scene that we all see every year at businesses across West Alabama. It's officially known as the Christmas Tree & Red Kettle Campaign. In a statement released this week, Capt. Michael Chisolm an Officer of The Salvation Army said, "This is our favorite time of the year because people are inspired to give generously to those in need".
The station is "St. Nick 97.5" at 97.5 FM and on the "St. Nick 97.5" app in the App Store or on Google Play. The Christmas station is celebrating the season 24/7 and playing the holiday favorites we all grew up hearing as well as a mix of great contemporary hits to put you in the mood for the holiday season.
The holiday "turkey trot" is a two-mile run/walk to support Magic Moments with the goal of bringing light to families that are in need. Wagner's Annual Turkey Trot is a popular event during the holiday season with a flat-timed course, giveaways, and food for all who participate.
People were welcomed with soft music, decorated tables, and they were served by elected officials, members of Greek letter organizations, and volunteers.
