Yuletide in the Park
Light Up Valley Park
With the well-received support from businesses and organizations within our community and the tremendous success of the event, we are excited to announce that Light Up Valley Park will be returning for it's fifth year and we want to make it bigger and better than ever!
This is quickly becoming a tradition for businesses, organizations and families in our community to participate in and visit throughout the holiday season.
Details:
Cost to sponsor a tree is $75
Payment and Application to reserve a tree to be decorated must be received no later than Wednesday, November 26.
Trees must be decorated by no later than Thursday, December 4, but we encourage you to have them decorated prior to Saturday, November 30 for our Small Business Saturday Event
We will supply you a 7ft tree that will be placed in the courtyard once we have received your payment and application. Once the tree is ready, we will contact you to come and decorate your tree. We will provide any extension cords and electrical tape necessary to light up your tree.
Tree decorating guidelines:
You must supply all lights and ornaments
Lights must be LED lights only
ORNAMENTS AND DECORATIONS MUST BE SECURED TO THE TREE WITH ZIP TIES, WIRE OR OTHER MEANS. We often times incur high wind between the buildings and ornaments and decorations will be blown off the trees. If your ornaments are not secured and this happens, we will contact you to collect your ornaments and place them back on your tree.
All lights and decorations must be removed from your tree no later than Sunday, January 4 or they will become property of Valley Park
All trees must be decorated in good taste
We encourage you to include a sign or some other way to bring awareness to the community which business, organization, etc. has sponsored the tree
PLEASE NOTE: IN ORDER TO 'CLAIM A TREE' YOU MUST HAVE DECORATIONS OF SOME TYPE ON THE TREE THAT MAKE IT OBVIOUS THE TREE HAS BEEN RESERVED. A sign or a 1-3 ornaments is not an accepted form of claiming the tree. The weather often times blows the signs away and others think an ornament or two are just something that fell off another tree and we can't be held responsible for someone 'taking' your tree.
Tree sponsorship fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.
