MERRY FOREST
Once again it is time to plan for the Festival of the Bonfires annual event, “Santa’s Very Merry Forest.” As in previous years, there will be a limited number of trees to adopt. In order to accommodate all orders, your response is needed by Friday, November 18, 2022. The cost to adopt a tree will be $30.
Christmas trees will range from five (5) to seven (7) ft. with most being in the five-ft. range. Although the trees will be placed under a tent, your ornaments will be exposed to dampness. Please do not display any valuables. The Festival will not be responsible for stolen or misplaced ornaments. The maximum number of lights is three strands of 50 UL approved outdoor lights. An extension cord will be needed to connect to the on-site power. All extension cords should be labeled.
In order to coordinate our time with the tent rental suppliers, Parish personnel, and the weather, we have to adhere to following time frame. Your understanding and patience in working with us are greatly appreciated.
