WISCASSET — TREATS has been named the winning wreath design of the Wreaths Around the Holidays 2024, which takes place during Wiscasset’s Holiday Marketfest in early December.
Nine wreaths decorated by local businesses were on view in the Holiday Gift Shop in the Nickels-Sortwell barn, where shoppers voted for their favorite; at the end of Marketfest weekend, the People’s Choice winner is announced.
Brie Soares, an employee of the cafe, was the designer of the winning wreath, which featured colorful dried flowers, including gomphrena, nigella pods and hydrangea, about half of which were grown in her summer garden and the rest purchased from a local flower farm.
Businesses that submitted wreaths were First National Bank, First Federal Savings & Loan of Bath, Friends of Wiscasset Public Library, Garden Club of Wiscasset, J. Edward Knight & Co., Maine Health Primary Care, Water Lily Flowers & Gifts, and Wiscasset Ambulance Service.
At the end of Marketfest, the decorated wreaths were donated to the assisted living communities Edgecomb Green and Richmond Eldercare.
