Unusual Christmas tree needs top

Judi Dunn-Gray, coordinator for the county’s recycling program, stands next to a Christmas tree constructed out of aluminum cans which is now on display in the lobby of the Public Service Building. The tree is part of a “Less Stuff” contest sponsored by the county’s recycling program.

Residents are encouraged to design a decorative top for the tree by using recycled materials, according to Dunn-Gray. Entries are due by Dec. 15, and the winner will be announced Dec. 22. The prize will be a $50 gift certificate from Tri-State. All entries will be displayed in the Public Service Building.
