Rittman's Small Town Tree Lighting event gives businesses, civic groups, and individuals the
chance to sponsor a fresh-cut Christmas Tree. The sponsor will then decorate the tree, and
have it displayed in our downtown area. Each tree will have a "Decorated By" sign in front of it.
The trees will then be lit the evening of December 7th during our "A Very Merry Rittman
Christmas" event. Our goal is to get 25 businesses, civic groups, and/or individuals to
sponsor a tree!
Volunteers, Organizations, and Businesses can register here to participate: https://forms.gle/AhgwXB1n2JGKHmJR6
