CHURCH HILL â Hawkins Countyâs two âofficialâ Christmas decorating tours each announced their participant winners last week, with a Church Hill family successfully defending their 2019 New Canton Plantation title, and a 100-year-old Rogersville home earning the Heritage Associationâs award.
Last year, Hunter and Amanda Jackson, who own New Canton Plantation in Church Hill, opened their historic home up to the public for a Christmas event that included caroling, childrenâs activities and treats.
The event raised more than $3,000 for the Of One Accord ministry.
A public event wasnât possible this year due to the pandemic, but the Jacksons did bring back one aspect of last yearâs program, the Christmas lights tour. For a $20 donation, families entered their home, which was judged partly with votes that cost $2 each.
