A Veterans Affair - Festival of Trees

CHRISTMAS TREES INFORMATION

From traditional to unique, let your creativity soar by choosing to decorate an artificial tree, from table top, and up, in size. The sponsor is responsible for providing their own tree at their own expense. Trees must be artificial, pre-lit, and flame retardant. Decorations should enhance the overall value of the tree. Sponsors are responsible for providing their own extension cord (minimum 12’ in length). Entries must be tasteful in design and decoration and should be appropriate for display during a family-oriented community event. All decorations, accessories (such as tree skirts and tree toppers) and gifts will be raffled with the tree. Any faux gifts must be clearly marked “for display only.”
For theme ideas, Google “Festival of Trees.” Some of the themes used in the past are:

•Children’s Trees (Disney: Frozen, Cars, etc.)
•Christmas era
•Baking
•Patriotic
•Whiskey
•Gift cards/money tree/ Scratcher ticket trees
•Themes representing a business or organization
•Sports
•Trees specific to men/women

Please note that a schedule will be sent to all tree donors the week prior to the event so that they can come to the Veterans Home and put up their tree.
Contact Patti Baccus at pbaccus@cox.net or 401.413.6280, for additional information and to reserve a space at our event for your tree! Deadline is November 9, 2018. Minimum value of trees is $100.
