Paul’s Tree Farm is having its seventh annual Kid’s Drawing to give away a lifelike HO gauge electric train set “Golden Thunder.” This year’s contest is for kids ages 8 to 18 years. The train set drawings have proven to be very popular. The drawing will be held Dec. 15 so the winners can be notified in time to pick up their prizes to enjoy for their Christmas celebration. No purchase is necessary to enter the contest.
Paul’s Tree Farm will also be collecting donations again this year for the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, which is the charitable branch of the National Christmas Tree Association. The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation has implemented the Trees for Troops Program in conjunction with FedEx.
This year Trees for Troops plan to deliver more than 15,000 trees to all branches of the military, with approximately 300-400 trees being shipped overseas for troops in the Middle East. Since 2005, the program has delivered more than 50,000 Real Christmas Trees to military families at more than 50 bases across the U.S. and overseas. Depending on the generosity of contributors and participants, The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation is able to carry out their mission of furthering the Christmas spirit through programs serving kids, families and the environment.
There will be a donation box set up in Paul’s Tree Farm Craft Shop so those visiting Paul’s will be able to donate as they are checking out. It’s a great cause!
