TREE TRAIL:
Sponsors can decorate a tree to be part of the festive beauty of the Tree Trail at Ting Stadium! Trees will be available for your company to sponsor and decorate and will be on display throughout WinterFest. You can choose a holiday theme or use your tree to highlight your business.

It is recommended that a properly lit tree has 100 lights for every 1.5' of tree. A well-lit 6-7 foot tree should have approximately 500 lights.

Any logos or business names should be clear and easy to recognize.

Place flyers or other giveaways in the branches of your tree to encourage visitors to take a closer look. Replenish any giveaways regularly.
-
Leave a set of replacement batteries for each strand of lights should your lights run out.
-
Offer coupons or discounts for services and have business cards available.
-
Consider having a representative from your business or organization present during the event to engage visitors and answer questions. A representative can give away candy canes or other small, wrapped candies as long as no candy or other food items are left unattended or overnight.
