City seeking evergreen tree to light up downtown

Image

The Friday after Thanksgiving is a festive night in downtown Rehoboth Beach - and it all starts with the perfect tree! The City of Rehoboth Beach is searching for a 35 to 40-foot evergreen tree, between the areas of Bethany Beach and Broadkill Beach, for its annual downtown "Tree Lighting and Sing-Along" at the Rehoboth Bandstand on Friday, November 24, 2017. The larger-than-life tree ideally would be a Spruce or Douglas Fir (no Leyland Cypress please). If you think you have the right tree and wish to donate it, please call the Communications Department at 302-227-2772 or [email protected]. If your tree is selected, arrangements will be made to have it taken down and transported downtown. The generous donor of the tree will receive special recognition during the Tree Lighting celebration.
