HALLOWELL — The annual Bonfire of the Trees, benefiting firefighters, is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 4, at Granite City Park, 1 Winthrop St.
People can bring an undecorated Christmas tree between 3-4:45 p.m. to toss on the bonfire. The bonfire will be lit around sunset, and the Taiko drummers will perform, according to a news release from host Vision Hallowell.
Those who attend are asked to bring a suggested donation of $10 per tree, with all funds going to the Hallowell Firefighters Association. There also will be hot cocoa and an opportunity to try to “fill the jeep” with canned goods for the food pantry; attendees are asked to bring any non-perishables they can spare.
