The 2010 Brownsville’s downtown open house “Home for the Holidays” will be kicked off Friday, Dec. 3rd with the Festival of Trees, which will be held in the Family Bible Fellowship Hall at 339 N. Main St.

Over 20 trees will be up for grabs during the Festival of Trees silent auction. Many local businesses are sponsoring trees by purchasing the decorations and providing the decorators. The trees will be available beginning Friday, Dec. 3rd from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for bidding. The auction will continue Saturday, Dec. 4th beginning at 9 a.m. and closing at 3 p.m. Come down and bid on a tree to help decorate your home or business this holiday season.

On Saturday, Dec. 4th, come stroll the sidewalks of historic downtown and enjoy the holiday season decorations. Merchants offer tasty samples of holiday fare and some offer special holiday prices. Carolers and musicians liven up the scene.

As it is each year, the Moyer House will be decorated for the holidays and open daily from Dec. 25 to Jan. 1 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stop by and bring your holiday visitors with you!
