Trees Along the Trail

Trees Along the Trail is set up in the museum's rotating gallery

Trees Along the Trail is set up in the museum’s board room and lobby area.

Date: December 3 – 23, 2022  during museum hours and Yuletide Lights evenings
Location: Legacy of the Plains Museum

Trees Along the Trail, now in its 19th year, is a Christmas tree decorating contest and nonprofit/service club organization fair rolled into one. Organizations provide and decorate a Christmas tree in the museum, often reflecting the group’s mission in the theme of the decorations. Visitors may purchase $1 vote tickets to vote for their favorite trees or organizations. Half of each vote ticket benefits the nonprofit or service club organization, and half benefits the museum. H&R Block and Wiedeman Financial have sponsored cash prizes to the winning organizations.
