The Dubois County Museum would like to say thank you to all who visited the museum this holiday season and voted for your favorite decorated Christmas tree. The museum was aglow with all the beautiful trees and decorations displayed by the many volunteers that helped decorate this year. All did such a wonderful job.
The museum would like to announce the winners of the Best Decorated Christmas Tree. The patriotic tree recognizing the United States military was chosen for first place. It is decorated in splendid red, white and blue lights and ornaments. Marge Popp and Linda Mason are the decorators and have decorated this tree for several years. Car Christmas Tree
The second place tree is the 13 feet Tall Nature tree that soars high above the farm equipment in Room Two. It is trimmed with natural woodland ornaments and garlands, wooden beads and rusty metal animals. It was decorated by Clara Fromme.
The third place tree is the unique tree made of white wooden shelves and trimmed with trains and buildings belonging to the Town of Birdseye. Amy Jo Lytle is the creator and decorator.
All these decorators win a box of chocolates.
You can still view all the 39 trees that were in the competition at the museum from December 27 through Jan. 8. Volunteers are welcome to come on January 9 to help take down the trees and store the decorations away for another year. The volunteers will be starting at 8:30 a.m. on the 9th.
