And we have good news for those looking to add a twist to their Christmas decorating. This year, limited edition themed table-top trees will be for sale. The professionally decorated trees are designed with corresponding gifts that continue giving throughout the year. The brightly colored ice cream tree is just one of 12 unique designs with year long gifts for the ice cream lover in any family.
Plus guests are invited to taste fine wine and champagne along with culinary samplings from top valley chefs while enjoying lively jazz from Catfish Groove Farm.
Over the last three years, ‘Shopping in the SHADE’ has raised more than $270,000 to help put 50 SHADE Coverings over 100,000 kids!
All funds will go to support the SHADE Foundation in educating our children about sun safety and provide shade coverings on school playgrounds for their protection. 88% of donations go to Programs.
