Christmas trees return to Spring Creek Park

By J. Leslie Riseden

Hughes Springs Chamber of Commerce is once again organizing “Christmas Trees in the Park”, and the site will be Spring Creek Park, next to City Hall.

The Chamber invites local businesses, merchants, and organizations to adopt a tree for the season. The adoption fee is $15.00 per tree; the Chamber of Commerce will match each contribution to make up the required $30 per tree. The trees will be in place and ready to decorate by Wednesday, November 16. Each tree will be approximately eight feet tall and will need at least eight strands of 100 lights each. (There are several sets of lights available for use at City Hall, first come-first served.) All decorations must be weatherproof, i.e., suitable for outdoor use.

The tree-lighting will be November 21, in conjunction with Holiday on First Street and Cork and Fork. For additional information or to reserve a tree, call the Chamber at 903-639-2351.
