COURT HOUSE – The sights and sounds of this holiday season are almost upon us. The Middle Township Chamber of Commerce will kick off the holiday on Dec. 7 with the 26th annual Tree of Life Festival during the Christmas in Middle Celebration. The display of decorated trees and wreaths will be open from 6:00-8:00 p.m. followed by a live auction.
The location is in the old Firehouse on Boyd Street which will be transformed into a winter wonderland. Businesses, organizations and individuals are being sought to sponsor decorated trees by designing, decorating and donating their tree for display and auction. Businesses or individuals can sponsor a tree by contributing $150.00 or a wreath for $75.00 and will have their name displayed on the tree at the event. Trees will be judged and awarded ribbons in categories of Most Creative, Artistic, Elegant/Formal, Best Children’s, Traditional, Whimsical and Best Theme. Tree size can range from tabletop to 6 feet tall but must be artificial for fire safety reasons.
The sponsor’s name will be displayed at the Tree of Life Festival and on all promotional material and media advertising.
Proceeds from the evening benefit Holy Redeemer Hospice, Cape Assist and the United Way of Cape May County.
