Details:
The Jay County Public Library invites our community to the Festival of Trees presented by the Jay County Chamber of Commerce! The Festival of Trees is a joyful and free display of Christmas trees decorated by Jay County nonprofits, service organizations, clubs, and municipalities for the public to enjoy.
A special kick-off celebration will be held on December 1 from 5-7 p.m. for the community! Everyone is welcome to come stroll through the library and enjoy viewing the beautifully decorated trees in the main areas. A Christmas story walk will coincide with the Christmas tree viewing where families can enjoy reading a story while walking through a magical winter wonderland. Families can also meet Santa and Mrs. Claus while enjoying live music throughout the evening. Free miniature artificial trees and stockings will be given away, while supplies last.
An interactive and educational Christmas tree farm experience will be provided in the Community Room. Families will have an opportunity to enjoy various fun activities such as tree identification, making a pine tree sensory bottle, decorating a Rice Krispie Christmas tree, making a nature ornament, and learning about famous Christmas trees and history. Begin the magic of the Christmas season with a visit to the library, and support our local community Christmas tree display. No sign up is required for this event.
If you can’t make it on December 1, the trees will be available for viewing from December 1 – 30. Come to JCPL during normal service hours and see a magical winter wonderland during Winterfest and throughout the holidays. The space will sparkle with beautifully decorated trees, each one representing the heart and spirit of our community. Stroll through and admire the displays and enjoy the holiday cheer and vote for your favorites. Tree voting will be held from December 1 – 6!
