Out and About

And the winners are…
The Arenac Conservation District and Arenac Christmas for Kids collaborated to host the Festival of Trees. A total of 21 trees were sponsored by local businesses in Arenac County. Each participating business decorated a Christmas tree, which was then donated to a family in need this holiday season. The trees were initially displayed at a business before being judged by a panel of secret volunteer judges. The winner of the 2024 decoration contest was the Bauman Family. Additionally, an online People’s Choice Award was presented to Farm Bureau Insurance Karen Tremble. A generous donation of $1,533 was made to Arenac Christmas for Kids to assist with next year’s Christmas list.
