December First Friday! Oh Christmas Tree: Tree Decorating Competition! from 5-8pm

Join us downtown for a Christmas extravaganza!

The local businesses are gearing up for the holidays and are planning their perfect Christmas tree displays! But we need your help!

We invite you to come downtown, bundle up, grab a hot beverage and a score card! Then walk a few blocks while you enjoy the lights, shop, eat and most importantly, judge the trees in our local businesses to determine this years 'Oh Christmas Tree' Winner!

The Holiday Whopla Ice Rink will be close by for a fun stop along your walk and a great activity for the whole family!

Make sure to stop back by White Dog Distillery, or the DMI booth at 1357 Central Avenue, to give us back your scorecard before you leave! You will be entered in a raffle for judging every tree!
