They give you a small Christmas tree to decorate and the barn decided to make it into something a little more bling bling.
Every year the Northern Michigan Children's Assessment Center has decorated trees donated by businesses and individuals to help raise money for their cause. The Barn at Higgins Lake has donated this “tree.” 🤣
Where: Christmas in the Village at The Village Township Hall (downtown Roscommon)
When: Saturday, the 7th from 10am-7pm
Winners announced at 6:30pm
