The lights are on now and there were families out playing on the square late into the evening. The balconies have been decorated and the lights turned on… It is quite a sight from our balcony. We also are in a mad rush to get our store front set up and ready for fridays big kick off for the Victorian Christmas festival. Stop by and see us. We have a lot of antique christmas items too. Look for santa on a rocking horse, and frosty, they’ll be up on our balcony… Here’s some pictures.
Currently there are two other apartments that people are living in on the Canton square. There is one other apartment that i know of that is ready to live in, and I don’t think it is occupied so it may be available if anyone out there is looking for a cool apartment on the historic courthouse square in Canton Mississippi.
On Friday December 11, we’ll be walking the square for the third annual Sip’n Cider Under the lights event and grabbing some dinner at R.J. Barrel’s. Shops will be open, serving their own blend of Cider. Santa will be on the square from 6-9pm too. Here’s the deal, you sample the cider and vote for the best one. By voting, you are registered for a $25 door prize. To make the night extra special, book a room at Heart’s Content bnb.

Halloween in Canton was fun. I dressed as Captain Pratt who built the 172 W. Center Street building on the square. Sharon dressed as Annie Hossley who built Heart’s Content Bed and Breakfast over 100 years ago. This is what we looked like…
It’s kind of surreal, even before halloween, Canton was putting up Christmas decorations! From the balcony here at project 172 we can see the big light displays being assembled on the courthouse lawn. It will be a very neat holiday season watching the throngs of people coming to Canton MS to start their holiday season. All the lights really are spectacular to see. We usually have a pretty good turn out of guests at the bed and breakfast during the holiday season.
