Santa, S’mores & Stories 2024
Christmas in Corinth 2025
In December of 2024 and 2025 we welcomed families to celebrate the most magical time of year with us!
In 2024, we kicked things off with a cozy day of holiday cheer at Santa, S’mores & Stories. In 2025, we shifted gears with Christmas in Corinth, where kids raced around town collecting stamps and making memories along the way.
Families gathered around the fire thanks to the Corinth Fire Department, and guests of all ages enjoyed our first tree lighting. Santa spent the evening sharing stories, smiles, and a little bit of Christmas magic with every child who stopped by.
Cold weather, warm hearts, and a whole lot of community spirit. Exactly how the holidays should feel. It was a magical day of community, laughter, and memories that warmed even the coldest winter air.
Chili Cook Off 2025
This past March, the community came together for a deliciously fun Chili Cook-Off to support the reopening of the Atkins Memorial Library. With crockpots full of flavor and plenty of friendly competition, local cooks served up their best recipes while neighbors cast their votes. It was a heartwarming day filled with good food, great company, and generous support for our library’s future.
