AUBURN — The city of Auburn Public Services Department is seeking a beautiful local tree to use in Festival Plaza this holiday season.
The ideal tree will be located in Auburn; an evergreen — spruce or fir — at least 25 feet tall; and relatively “accessible” (no close power lines or other obstructions). The winning tree will be removed and transported at no cost to the property owner.
For more information, visit www.auburnmaine.gov/pages/neighborhood/tree. Entries are due by Friday, Oct. 26.
The tree will be illuminated Saturday, Nov. 24, at the Twin Cities Festival of Lights Holiday Parade, which officially kicks off the holiday season downtown.
The owner of the winning tree will be recognized through publicity and social media, and the owner and his or her family will be invited to the lighting ceremony. The tree will remain at Festival Plaza throughout the holiday season.
