The trees remain on display day and night and the public can vote once a day for their favorite tree at the Visitor Services Kiosk located at Grand Park. On Saturday, Dec. 17 at 2 p.m., the contest winners will be announced in Grand Park while Pro Arte Chorale performs and hot chocolate and cookies are served. The public is invited to attend these free events.
