Festival of Trees Begins at JMAM

 

Cadiz, KY    A feeling of Christmas will be in the air at the Janice Mason Art Museum as the Museum and Trigg County Homemakers co-host the annual Trail of Trees beginning on December 4 through December 31.  There will be more than twenty-five unique themed trees, as well as an added treat of antique toys in the show.

 

This event grows every year, and each year the Christmas trees are more diverse and surprising.  These Christmas trees are projects of civic organizations, clubs, schools, and businesses in the area.  The opening night is always the night of the Cadiz candle light Christmas parade, and plenty of Main Street and Museum volunteers will be in Dickens’ costume.

 

The community is invited to tour the Trail of Trees at an Open House with refreshments on December 4, beginning at 4:00 p.m.  The Museum will remain open after the parade until 7:30.

call 522-9056 between the hours of 10 and 4 Monday through Saturday, and 1 till 4 on Sunday.  You may also get more information by visiting our web site at www.jmam.org.

 

The museum will be closed from November 24 at 4:00 until December 4 at 4:00 for installation of this exciting show of the Festival of Trees.

 

The Janice Mason Art Museum is a non-profit organization located at 71 Main Street. It is funded in part by a grant from the Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency in the Commerce Cabinet, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the USDA Forest Service.
