Community Christmas Trees
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... everywhere you go in the Region of Queens Municipality! Communities from throughout Queens have worked together to decorate Christmas trees for the annual Community Christmas Tree Contest sponsored by the Region's Recreation & Community Facilities Department. Residents are encouraged to take a tour of the trees, and take in the cooperative efforts in each community. Start a family tradition by traveling throughout the Region, viewing the beautiful trees and the pretty lights; it is a great way to get in the holiday mood, and feel pride in your community! Trees are located throughout the Municipality.
- East Port L'Hebert (at the corner of Main and East Side Rds.), Port Joli (at the Port Joli Community Hall), Brooklyn (at the Brooklyn Community Hall), Port Medway (beside the Farmer's Medway Market), Kempt (at the Junction of Route 8 and Northfield Rd.), North Brookfield (at North Brookfield Church), Greenfield (Veteran's Park) and at the North Queens Nursing Home. Other communities may have signed up between the time of writing and publication. Grab a thermos of hot chocolate, tune the car radio to Christmas carols, and take your Family out to see Christmas spirit in Queens!
