APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED!

Even though Lackawanna County’s abundant trees have yet to change color with the approach of fall, the county Department of Arts and Culture envisions the gay colors of Christmas trees.

The department seeks applicants – individuals, civic organizations, businesses, schools or local governments – for its annual Festival of Trees on Courthouse Square in Scranton.

This year’s theme for the Toys for Tots fundraiser is “A Cartoon Christmas.” The display in the Pizaa dell’ Arte, on the Biden Street side of Courthouse Square, will open Dec. 5 in conjunction with the Lackawanna County Winter Market and remain until Jan. 12. The fee to participate is $25.

The department will provide 25 trees on first-come, first-served basis, and will provide access to electricity. Decorators must provide their own lights, weather-proof decorations, and designs.

Contact arts-culture@lackawannacounty.org for more information.
