Mayor Kaler says, “Each year I am amazed at the creativity of our local students and the beauty of each ornament. It is obvious that a lot of time and care go into handcrafting these works of art. This year, I am expanding the contest to include any student who lives in this county. Each ornament submitted meeting the criteria will be placed on the Christmas tree at City Hall.”
The deadline to submit an ornament with a completed Ornament Submission Form to City Hall is Tuesday, November 29 at 4:30 pm. No entry fee is required. The top three ornaments in each of the three categories will be recognized at the December 6 City Commission meeting. The judging categories are K-3rd grade, 4th-8th grade, and 9th-12th grade.
