'Light Up the Pines' holiday decorating program underway

Dozens of Ocean Pines homes have been decked out, lit up and covered in holiday cheer for the community’s annual “Light Up the Pines” holiday decorating program.

Sponsored by Choptank Electric Cooperative, the program encourages residents to add their homes to an online Google map so that others may take a tour of the illuminated outdoor displays at their leisure.

The first 20 households that registered received gift bags from Choptank, but there is no limit to the number of addresses that can be added to the online map, which will be updated throughout the holiday season.

“Choptank Electric Cooperative is pleased to be part of the holiday spirit in Ocean Pines with the ‘Light Up the Pines’ event,” said Elizabeth Hallett, manager of marketing and communications. “We hope our members enjoy bringing holiday fun to the neighborhood!”

Households still interested in being included on the map should submit a name, address, email and phone number to info@oceanpines.org or 410-641-7717 ext. 3014. Unless otherwise specified, only addresses will be added to the online map.

The online map of participating homes may be viewed at https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1WwK5e47ZJjK11paT5jZ69HqobWwf_3nA&usp=sharing or via the “Light Up the Pines” link on the homepage at oceanpines.org.
