‘TIS THE SEASON
2020 Teen Center Festival of Trees
(Kamiah)-Here it is! What you have been waiting for! Due to COVID and the cancellation of Olde Fashioned Christmas, the event of the season has been reinvented. Do not miss the holiday sparkle, brought to you in a whole new way! Upriver Youth Leadership Council (UYLC) and the Teen Center are excited to announce the 2020 Teen Center Festival of Trees event will begin on November 20th.
Our community Christmas artists have been busy as elves creating gorgeous trees, wreaths, tablescapes and more in anticipation of your generous bidding to support the Teen Center. These creations will be scattered throughout the community in local businesses for your viewing pleasure and on the Upriver Youth Leadership Facebook and Instagram pages. Bidding can be done at the Teen Center located at 405 Main Street in Kamiah, or on the Facebook Page where an event album will be created. Bidding will end on December 4th at 6:00 PM.
To liven up the event even more, a scavenger hunt has been added. Beginning November 20th, maps can be picked up at the Teen Center and can be found below. On each map will be the businesses where the 2020 creations are placed. Visit each one and answer a question about the creation or location, return your completed form and be entered into a drawing for many great prizes!
Prizes include: $20 Jacobs Lumber Gift Certificate; $20 Pizza Factory Gift Certificate; $20 Hogsback Deli Gift Certificate; $20 Inland Cellular Gift Certificate; $20 Hub Gift Certificate; $10 IdaJo Coffee Gift Certificate; and more.
Event organizers are hoping this year’s event will be very successful in an effort to recoup some of the lost revenue caused by COVID-19, and at the same time being able to still offer one of the communities traditional Holiday events, albeit with modifications. 2020 has truly been a year to think outside of the box!
