Deck the Halls in Celery Flats in Portage
The City of Portage decorates Celery Flats with all of the trimmings annually, including oversized Christmas cards and decorated trees. These five foot spruce trees feature the creativity of local businesses and organizations.
This year, our team is joining in the holiday spirit by featuring our first KZOO Kids tree!
While we are excited to bust out the garland and all of the ornaments, we need help decorating and think kids are the best designers.
This year, the KZOO Kids tree in Celery Flats will feature FIVE custom-made ornaments, designed by local kids.
We will make two copies of each ornament: one for the tree, and one for each winner to keep.
