“Tinsel Trail has been a fun project for the entire community. Not only do businesses and groups get a chance to showcase their work, but the community has enjoyed the magic of the downtown square this season,” Brown said.
The trees will remain up until Jan. 1, so there’s still time to visit and walk through the trail.
