The community is invited to the Chipley Woman’s Club Lights of Love Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at 132 McDougald Avenue in Pine Mountain.

Lights of Love, which began in 2013, is a heartfelt celebration honoring the lives and memories of loved ones during the Christmas season. A light will shine on the tree for each individual remembered, honored or celebrated. Each light is illuminated through a $20 donation, and all honoree names will be recorded in the Lights of Love book, which will be available for viewing inside the Chipley Woman’s Club both before and after the ceremony.

This year’s tree will be lit by Ann Neal Clancy, a lifelong Pine Mountain resident and longtime Chipley Woman’s Club member.

“Lights of Love is one of Pine Mountain’s most meaningful traditions,” said Julia Keating, executive director of the Pine Mountain Tourism Association and a member of the Chipley Woman’s Club. “It gives families a beautiful way to honor the people they love during the holiday season, and it brings our entire community together in a spirit of warmth, remembrance and celebration.”

While attending the Lights of Love ceremony, guests are encouraged to purchase tickets for the Chipley Woman’s Club Holiday Tour of Homes & Churches, set for Saturday, Dec. 13. This is the only holiday home tour being hosted in the region this year, offering a rare glimpse inside beautifully decorated homes and historic churches. Proceeds from the tour support the Chipley Woman’s Club’s charitable programs, which assist children, citizens in need and other community-focused initiatives in Pine Mountain and the surrounding area.

Light refreshments will be served following the ceremony.
