Shasta and Mark Brown, left, are seen at a Mount Airy Board of Commissioners meeting last week, when Mayor Deborah Cochran presented the couple with a certificate of appreciation for their ongoing efforts during the city’s annual tree-lighting ceremony before Christmas. For more than 15 years, the Browns have played a key role at the event, including Mark supplying sound equipment and a spotlight for the program. Shasta, meanwhile, leads the Beacons, a youth group at First Presbyterian Church which provides free hot chocolate to the crowd.
