Beersheba Towers ready for holidays

By LISA CHAPMAN / Staff Reporter for the Southern Standard

Christmas is definitely in full swing at Beersheba Heights. Residents have decorated their front doors for their annual contest.

“Everyone is working hard,” said activities director Debra Lockridge. “By the middle of December, this place will be lit up like a Christmas tree.”

If the three sisters Georgia King, Beatrice Campbell and Ruby King, who reside there have their way, Christmas will be a time to remember. The competition is already on to outdo one another when it comes to door decorations.

But so far, Bill and Rhonda Mitten seem to have it in the bag. Their front door is actually a Christmas tree, lights and all. Residents are still stumped as to how Bill got the tree to stay up on the door.

Activities scheduled for Christmas include the door decoration contest, dinner, and viewing of “Miracle on 34th Street,” accompanied by popcorn.
