Decorate a tree at the museum
to help others this Christmas!
Due to last year's success, again this year we're inviting families, businesses, organizations and churches to bring and decorate a Christmas tree at the museum. Trees must be 6' or under. You may decorate your tree to promote your business or cause, in memory of a loved one, or in your own unique style.
This year we will add a contest were visitors to the museum can cast their vote for their favorite tree with a cash donation. The tree with the most money collected will be named the "People's Choice" winner. Each participant will name the non-profit or charity of their choice as the beneficiary of their winnings before the contest begins. This can be a fun way to give during the holiday season.
We need the trees set up and displayed before our December 7th Open House. Our "Hygge Holiday" celebration is held in conjunction with Viborg's Customer Appreciation Day.
To learn more or to reserve a spot, stop in to the museum or call (605) 766-1312 (leave message).
