Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- If sponsoring a tree, order your custom sign early from local vendors like Printex or Mill City Apparel to ensure it's ready for decorating day.
- Ensure all decorations are weather-proof and securely attached with zip ties or wire, as they will remain outdoors for two months.
- Use only LED lights with a maximum total wattage of 30 watts per tree; non-LED lights will be removed by the organizers.
- Plan to remove your tree decorations by January 5th to avoid them becoming property of Shine On Chillicothe.
- Check the Shine On Chillicothe Facebook page for timely updates on tree delivery and decorating day readiness.
