Morrison Chamber of Commerce Administrator Corinne Bender invites the public to “Come out and bid on 46 unique, table-top Christmas trees decorated by local businesses, organizations, and individuals at the Morrison Chamber of Commerce Christmas Tree Walk. Several businesses in Morrison have beautiful, holiday table-top trees on display in their front windows or inside their businesses. Signs taped to their entrance doors say ‘Christmas Tree Walk Participant.’ The Christmas Tree Walk is a silent auction of holiday trees that runs through Saturday, December 7, 2013, the evening of this year’s Christmas Walk.”
Decorated trees are on display and up for bid, using bid sheets, in all of the participating shops until Friday, December 6. After that, all 46 trees will be together for viewing and bidding at Wells Fargo Bank, 100 W. Lincolnway,Morrison, IL, on Saturday, December 7 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Bidding will close at 7:30.
Winning bidders will be able to pick up their trees after 7:30 p.m. or will be contacted the morning of Monday, December 9, by Chamber staff. Lucky winners take home the entire tree, ornaments, skirt, and all!
Proceeds from the Christmas Tree Walk silent auction benefit the Chamber’s “New Banners for Main Street” fundraiser.
