On Saturday, December 4 the Clinton County Chamber of Commerce will host their annual Christmas Festival which includes Breakfast with Santa, Festival of Trees, Children’s Make It and Take It Crafts and a Craft Show.
The Festival of Trees and Craft Show run from 8 am to 3 pm, while the Breakfast with Santa runs from 8-10:30 am and the Children’s Make It and Take It Crafts will be from 12-3 pm.
All events are held at the CC RESA Building at 1013 S US 27 in St. Johns. For the craft show you may request a specific hallway or room, but it is important to note that 2009 vendors have until October 15 to secure their same space back. Spaces are $25 – you get a 7’ space if the Chamber provides the table and 2 chairs, or you get a 10’ space if you bring your own table and chairs.
For the Festival of Trees the Chamber is looking for individuals, families, groups or businesses that want to display a theme decorated Christmas tree in the RESA Building for about 2 weeks. Trees need to be put up on Monday, November 22 and taken down on Friday, December 17. There is no charge to display the tree but you must provide your own tree, decorations and skirting. Individuals that view the trees will vote for their favorite tree with a monetary donation. The tree that collects the most donations will decide which charity receives all the money collected.
If you would like an entry form for the craft show or the Festival of Trees, or if you just have questions about the event, call 989-224-7248 or email ccchamber@power-net.net. You can also get the entry forms off the Chamber website at www.clintoncountychamber.org – go to Events and Christmas.
