Members of the Heritage Guild of Vicksburg and Warren County presented a huge check – literally – to the Vicksburg Main Street program Thursday in a ceremony at Duff Green Mansion.

The Heritage Guild of Vicksburg and Warren County, through the O’ Christmas Tree Home Tour, raised $6,666.82 to benefit the Vicksburg Main Street’s Building Facade Grant program.

Officials said the 2024 O’ Christmas Tree Home Tour is scheduled for December 7, 8, 14, and 15. Twelve private homes will be on display for the public. These homes will be different from 2023. New activities have been added to include a Festival of Lights chaired by Maggie Nasif; carol singers chaired by Nick Josyln; and Christmas movies at The Strand chaired by Sally Bullard and Daniel Boone.
