Coury Ford hosting non-profits tree event

As we post, 23 non-profit organizations have descended upon Steve Coury Ford's Showroom in Star Valley. Each of them is decorating a Christmas Tree which has been purchased for them by a local business. And I can add that the trees I've already seen are outstanding!

From Dec. 2 through Dec. 14, anyone may drop by the showroom and vote for his or her favorite tree or trees by donating non-perishable food items. We highly recommend voting often since all contributions go to the local food banks! During that same two weeks we will be accepting silent auction bids for these trees as well.

On Dec. 14, from 3pm to 5pm is the ChariTree Celebration to coincide with the last 2 hours of the voting period and auction period. At 5pm, a live auction will commence for the top trees. All proceeds from the auctions will be split among all the participating charities. We'll have music, refreshments and community spirit all in one place!
