Sponsors Ready Festival Of Trees Entries In LITH

Expect a frenzy of decorating today in preparation for Friday's Festival Of Trees celebration and Santa welcome at LITH Village Hall.  About one third of the 25 Christmas Trees remained unadorned Wednesday afternoon.

The trees are sponsored and decorated by area businesses and community groups so celebrants can vote for their favorites with a donation for area food pantries.  LITH Parks & Rec fashion experts advise a carry-along can of beans or box of Wheaties will be a stylish accessory when greeting Santa at 6 pm at Village Hall Friday.
