Chamber Women’s Networking Committee Seeking Candidates for Annual Holiday Decorating Contest

The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Women’s Networking Holiday Decorating Contest committee has announced their 13th Annual Holiday Decorating Contest with a new twist for 2017.

The focus of the contest this year will be just one holiday tree. The evergreen fir tree has traditionally been used to celebrate winter festivals (pagan and Christian) for thousands of years. Pagans used branches of it to decorate their homes during the winter solstice, as it made them think of the spring to come. The Romans used Fir Trees to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia. Christians use it as a sign of everlasting life with God. Anne Frey of DBI Services, and decorating committee chair noted “ We decided that focusing on just one tree for the decorating contest this year would level the field from small to large business as well as unleash the creativity of our members”. “Our volunteer judges enjoy the process and hope to encourage more businesses to join in the fun.”, stated Anne.
