Holiday Trees 2025

Get Your Business Rockin' Around the Holiday Trees
 
Description:
Fresh evergreen trees, supplied by Platt Hill Nursery will be installed in the Old Town Park on the south end of the park around the center. Chamber businesses will have the opportunity to decorate the trees for a fee.  Trees will be up from November 20 to January 4, 2026.  This gives members the opportunity to advertise their business in a new area reaching new potential customers. To increase resident’s participation, a pickle will be hidden in the tree; whoever finds it first and posts about it wins a gift card. This ensures people are looking at all the trees in search of the pickle. The number of trees are limited.
