Ho-Ho-Ho!
The Sheldon’s Online Miniature Christmas Tree Raffle has Begun
This year, the Sheldon’s annual Miniature Christmas Tree Raffle features nine one-of-a-kind miniature trees decorated by talented local artists. This year’s artists are: Suzanne Douglas, Nancie Dunn (Sweet Cecily), Robin Huestis (Round Robin), Lauren LaBerge (Sweet Charity), Sarah Pope, Donna Sargent & Miranda Gero, Sarah Stahl, Ashley Wolff, and a “Secret Santa Artist.” Ornaments featured on the diverse trees will enchant children and adults and add a festive flair to the holiday home decorations of the lucky raffle winners. The trees are 24” tall.
The Christmas Tree Raffle is an annual tradition at the Sheldon Museum. Because the Sheldon is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Raffle is online this year.
Tickets will be sold through Sunday, December 20 and the drawing will take place on Monday, December 21.
Tickets are: $5 for one; $20 for 5
You won’t be able to select specific trees on your ticket, but when purchasing tickets, let us know if you have a favorite and if your name is drawn, you’ll win that tree if it is still available!
