Trees will be displayed in main aisleways of both buildings for all to see and vote on

CONTEST RULES:
The event is limited to 1 entry per group/family.
The submission of completed Official Entry Form is required (see button above), no later than December 7, 2022 by 4:30 pm. Incomplete or illegible entry forms will not be accepted.
You must provide all decorations for your tree. You are free to express your creativity and originality, but we ask that your tree represent your business, organization or family and be in good taste, suitable for display at a family event. Decorations should hang on the tree, not sit alongside the tree or be held up by any means other than the tree itself. The Holiday Market reserves the right to remove any decorations not meeting this criterion.
Any decorations can be used as long as they do not include electric parts. No lights may be used in tree decoration. (By order of the Fire Marshall).
We will provide a sign, approximately 12” X 14” identifying the group or organization who decorated the tree. This sign will be suspended from the stand in front of the decorated tree.
Donated decorations will be taken to a local non-profit organization.
Most importantly... HAVE FUN!
