The
annual Christmas Tree Lane,
a display of Christmas trees decorated by various student organizations,
wards and housing units, will begin Thursday, Dec. 6, and will run through
Monday, Dec. 15.
The
trees, decorated around the theme “Carols of Christmas” to
coordinate with downtown Rexburg’s international theme, will be on
display on the second floor of the Manwaring Center
in the lobby between the East and West Ballrooms. Kris Fillmore, enrichment
director for the Activities Program, expects more than 20 entries this
year, which will be judged Dec. 6.
“It
provides a little Christmas spirit on campus for the students while they
are away from home,” Fillmore says.
Santa
will visit on Dec. 8 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Additionally, a nativity scene and six-foot dancing Santa will be on
display. Several musical groups, including harp ensembles, a tuba quartet,
a chamber brass group, a saxophone quartet and jazz combos, will play
during the days of Christmas Tree Lane.
“The
smell of the trees and the whole atmosphere – students love it,”
Fillmore said. “It gives them a touch of home away from home.”
