Decorators of Trees, Gingerbread Houses, Menorahs and Holiday Symbols
Returning this holiday season, Habitat for Humanity of Summit and Wasatch Counties will hold a winter tree and gingerbread house show to raise critical funds for our mission to build homes that are affordable for families working in our community. All funds raised will support Habitat’s work at Silver Creek Village, where we are currently building 26 homes.
Our goal is to display 30 holiday trees, 20 gingerbread houses and an assortment of holiday symbols.
Decorators will enter in one of four categories:
- Business
- Artist/Designer
- Community Group
- Individual or Family
Becoming a Decorator
Volunteers are asked to have their completed, decorated tree, menorah, holiday symbol or gingerbread house inside the Utah Film Studios venue by Noon Tuesday, December 3. All accompanying paperwork is also due at that time.
Trees may be decorated on-site or groups may deliver the tree to the venue.
Groups are encouraged to embrace the theme, Celebrating Home, as they plan their tree or house.
All eligible trees will be part of an Audience Choice award. First, second and third place will be awarded for each category.
