Trim-A-Tree Entries Forms
due
November 16th
This holiday 4-H activity is designed for everyone who participates to have fun and bring happiness to others during the holiday season. As a club, 4-H members use their creative energy to construct handmade decorations for a Christmas Tree. The trees should be placed around the community and remain there during the holiday season. When selecting your location, it is important to choose a location that is open during our office hours (8:30 am-4:30 pm). Trees are judged for neatness and originality and the primary objective is to share some holiday joy with those who need it most. This is only a club contest, but individuals are encouraged to display their own tree around the community as a service project. Trees should be in place by December 1st. They will be judged sometime during the following 2 weeks. Clubs should complete the entry form attached and return it to the 4-H office by November 16th for your tree to be included in the judging.
1. All decorations must be handmade but can include any type of material. This can include decorations made from a natural material, cloth, ceramics, etc. Decorations cannot be food items, which spoil easily.
2. Tree designs MUST HAVE a TITLE visible to judges indicating the tree’s theme.
3. Energy-efficient electric lights may be used, but they are not necessary.
4. All Clubs will provide their own trees. Tree height must be over 3 feet.
5. Clubs should be sure to identify their 4-H Club name at the tree display—be proud to promote your 4-H club work!
