When I think of the holidays in Moultrie , one of the first things that I think of is the Canopy of Lights and how happy it makes me feel when I ’ m walking home from work underneath it . I ’ m a sucker for Christmas lights and I ’ m not the only one !
“ Every year , Lights ! Lights ! Thanksgiving Night reminds me of why I love Moultrie so much . Walking through our beautifully lit downtown with my family , seeing the joy on everyone ’ s faces , it ’ s a special moment that feels like home ,” said Bolt VanDalsem , Main Street Director .
“ As a child who grew up in this community , I remember being in awe of the lights strung from the courthouse square ,” said Caroline Barber , executive director of the Moultrie Convention and Visitors Bureau , when asked about her memories of the lights . “ As an adult , I find the lights just as breathtaking , and I am honored to be a part of the team that helps create the wonderful Christmas atmosphere that people travel from states away to enjoy .”
