Dinner will be ‘sit down style’ and will be handled by Brockett Bridge Catering, with Hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 7:00 p.m. This year’s menu will feature tossed field greens with balsamic vinaigrette, fresh baked rolls with butter, rosemary roasted baby potatoes, green beans with amaretto butter, brie apple cranberry stuffed breast of chicken and assorted Holiday desserts.
Invitations for trees are now being sent out to organizations and business people. The fully decorated trees will be displayed during the weekends of December 5th and 6th and Dec 11th, 12th and 13th. Trees four feet and smaller must be on a skirted table, and set up dates are November 28th through December 3rd. The opening ceremony will be at 7:00 p.m. on December 4th, with the Boys and Girls Chorus singing Christmas Carols.
