Tinsel Tree Challenge Tinsel Tree Challenge is a community event to get you in the holiday spirit & give back to schools. Tinsel Tree Challenge!

Tinsel Tree Challenge is a free community event to get you in the holiday spirit and give back to our local Bay County schools. Support your local school and help raise money for classrooms, by participating in the Maier & Associates Tinsel Tree Challenge. Over 55 trees each representing a different PreK-5th grade classrooms/school & 15 wreaths reproducing 6th-8th grade classrooms will be decorated during the event and then presented to the public. During the Tinsel Tree Challenge there are many activities that will help to get participants into the merriment of the holiday season. The event will showcase a display of all the beautifully decorated trees - each one representing a different school or classroom. Throughout the event, participants can vote for their favorite trees with a $1 voting ticket. All the ticket money will go directly back to that classroom or school you voted for. So the more votes for each tree will mean more money that will directly support that classroom. At 2pm there will be an awards ceremony with local celebrity judges and the top 3 trees will be awarded an additional prize. After that the auction for the trees will begin. All proceeds will go directly back to the schools & classrooms. There will be many other things going on as well during the event. Come see some festive trees & wreaths and have some holiday fun with the family. What to look forward to:
