Mount Clemens – November 4, 2019
Help Make Downtown Sparkle
Families, service clubs, schools, scout troops and businesses are welcome to decorate a Christmas tree for the City’s Second Annual Tinsel Tour. The decorated trees will light up the City Hall and the riverfront from Dec. 3 to Jan. 1 for all to see.
Groups can decorate the trees in any theme and creativity is definitely encouraged. Memory trees to honor those who have passed away are also an excellent theme option.
The Tinsel Tour will debut with a kick-off on Tuesday, Dec. 3, from 5 from 8 p.m. at City Hall with free holiday fun for the entire community. The cost to sponsor a tree is $75, which includes the cost of the tree, signage, two strands of white lights, city fees and proper environmental disposal of the trees.
Registration forms and a complete list of rules and guidelines are available in the City Manager’s Office at 586-469-6818 x315 or the City’s website. Trees must be reserved by Nov. 18. Call today and help Mount Clemens sparkle in this fun holiday event!
