WANDA, THE WONDER DOG AND HER TREE

Thank you to all who decorated trees and to all who visited the Old Courthouse Museum to view their handiwork. We could not do this event without the help of so many community members and museum volunteers.

​Thirty-nine groups, organizations, families, classrooms, churches and businesses decorated trees for the 2019 celebration. Museum volunteers added their creative talents on several trees. Trees were provided by ICHS and decorations and lights were provided by the decorators.


There were five houses displayed in the 2019 Gingerbread House Gallery. A "gingerbread" house could be made of any medium or theme.
 
Trees were starting to "grow" at the museum by the middle of October, with November 1 marking the day trees were ready for decorations. The Christmas Tree Lane open house was well-attended on December 
1, and many others visited the museum during the month of December. Thank you to Jo McCord, Marilyn Wilken and Judy Bingman for playing the piano in the Courtroom during the open house.

People's Choice winners were determined by donations from museum visitors. Proceeds are used to support the upkeep, heating and restoration of the Old Courthouse Museum. In addition, three independent judges rated the trees in the categories of BEST USE OF THEME, MOST ORIGINAL, BEST DECORATED and BEST HAND-CRAFTED DECORATIONS. The Houses were judged on MOST ORIGINAL and BEST DECORATED.
