Discover Giles County Historical Society article from the Virginian Leader, October 28, 2009
The leaves are turning, the air is getting chillier, and its time to start thinking about Christmas! This year’s Christmas at the Johnston House will be a true community event. The Giles County Historical Society, Olde Towne Pearisburg, and the Giles Arts Council would like to invite your organization or civic, community, or church group to decorate a tree in our
Christmas Tree Decorating Contest. Trees will be judged on creativity and imagination and first, second, and third place will be awarded. There will be a junior award for schools and youth organizations.
All trees will be on display in the Andrew Johnston House from December 6th through 31st during regular operating hours. Because space is limited to 16 trees in the House, we ask that you return an entry form indicating your intentions to decorate a tree. Entry forms are available on our website, by e-mail, or by stopping by the Historical Society. Contest rules and set up procedures are on the entry form.
The Historical Society is planning an exhibit of antique toys in the Johnston House to complement the Christmas trees. Please contact us if you have a toy that is at least 50 years old that you would like to loan for the month of December.
We look forward to the community helping us make this a memorable holiday event!
