Small town Christmas attraction destroyed in southern storms

Over the last few years, a local tourist attraction company has transformed a small Mississippi town into a winter wonderland at the start of December, hoping to bring in visitors to the small community. The holiday event dubbed the Walt Massey Parade of Lights at Columbia, Mississippi, entertained over 40,000 people in the town of 6,000 last year, and a similar attendance was expected over the weekend, according to Kristan Agoglia, a visual engineer for the tourist attraction company Experience
