Second Annual Mingle and Jingle and Jubilee of Trees set for Nov. 26

EAST JORDAN — After making its debut last year, the 2nd Annual Mingle and Jingle and Jubilee of Trees for 501-C3’s will be returning for another celebration on Saturday, Nov. 26 in East Jordan.

Kick off the holiday season with the Lighting of the Community Tree at 4:30 p.m. with Citizen of the Year Danielle Poindexter officially flipping on the lights as residents and visitors sing holiday carols.

Beginning at 5 p.m. and running until 7 p.m., the 2nd Annual Jubilee of Trees for 501-C3’s will showcase 25 decorated trees and five gift baskets for a silent auction. Lucky bidders will not only take home a tree or basket, but will have the opportunity to write their check for their tree to the 501-C3 organization of their choice from a list of local 501C3 chamber members.

The Jordan Valley Community Band will be performing at the event. Cellar 1914 will be offering a complimentary sample of their specialty wines available at their Wine Tasting Room located at 101 Main St. Free specialty hot chocolate will be available sponsored by the Little Miss & Mr. Firecracker Pageant.

After touring the Jubilee of Trees at the Boathouse, get a start on holiday shopping at participating businesses who will be open throughout the evening with special sales, promotions and refreshments. Saturday, Nov. 26 is Small Business Saturday and it is an opportunity to support and shop the many small locally owned businesses.
