Despite worries over a rainy Friday, WRMJ’s Trees in the Park and the Holly Days festivities went on as scheduled. A break in the rain brought cold, but dry conditions to the streets of downtown Aledo for the annual Holly Days Electric Light Parade. In Central Park, WRMJ’s Trees in the Park were shining bright. 27 trees were on display decorated by local organizations. All of the entries were excellent this year. However, judges made some tough decisions to pick this year’s Trees in the Park winners. The winner of the Peoples Choice Award will be announced Monday.
In 3rd place:
The tree sponsored by Midwest Bank and decorated by High Roads Advantage
In 2nd place:
The tree sponsored by the Mercer County Jaycees and decorated by the Mercer County YMCA Preschool
In 1st place and People’s Choice winner:
The tree sponsored by General Grind and decorated by the Mercer County High School Art Club “Art Attack.”
