It takes a Village
Our Volunteers and partners are instrumental in making it possible.
Thank you!
In December 2019 when Chamber of Commerce and community volunteers brainstormed the idea to create a giant maze and take on the Guinness World Record for “Most Lit Trees in One Location” they knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
Trees were donated and countless community members cut, carried, stood, and strung lights on over 800 trees (only 797 made it to the final count).
The leap of community spirit didn’t stop there. Judges who painstakingly made the count were the local Police Chief and a district court judge; and for 12 days and nights after, even more volunteers came together to provide seasonal activities and events for the whole family. All free of charge!
Thank you Santa and Mrs. Claus, too.
BTW… in case you haven’t heard, we won the record!
Fast forward to 2023.
The community response was so amazing to the festivities –and we were humbled to see the community graciously come together to present a Merry Christmas – we are planning to host more Christmas joy in Shelton and Mason County in 2023 with the Festival Of The Firs, Stay tuned, stay merry and as always, thanks for your amazing support!
