Tree Decorating & Judging

• ChariTree purchases the live Christmas trees (approximately 6-7 FT tall), the stand, and large tree bag.
• We recommend a short table to elevate your tree. Also bring an electric cord (12 FT or longer) with your name on it.
• Only bring a small table or TV tray size to display information about your organization & a sign displaying the activities you do for the community.

• Organization may sell your own items.
  
• Be aware that it all must fit into your small area (around 6FT X 6 FT).

• Only attach gift certificate signs / tags to your tree and provide a list that go with the tree.
• You may place NEW gifts or Like-New items / presents under your tree.
• Securely attach lights and each ornament by twisting a wire or hook or twisty ties to each tree branch for transportation of the bidder’s tree.
• Please only use masking or painter’s blue tape on the floor and walls.
