Oh Christmas tree!
It’s only October and Halloween is right around the corner, but the search for the 2021 community Christmas tree for the Hometown Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting is underway.
Fairborn residents interested in donating a tree (fir, spruce, pine, or any variety of evergreen) should call 937-754-3030 or E-mail [email protected]. Provide your name, address, the approximate height of the tree, and location of the tree in the yard. Trees around hanging wires and inside fences will not be considered.
The tree should be at least 25 feet tall and must be located within the city limits. City staff evaluates all potential tree donations before selecting the community Christmas tree. Once the tree is selected, staff will remove the tree and root ball and then will put down seed.
The tree will be decorated for the holiday season and lit up during the parade on Friday, Dec. 3 beginning at 6 p.m. A sign indicating the tree donor will also be displayed with the tree. The deadline to submit a tree for consideration is 4:30 p.m. on Friday Nov. 5.
