Mayor Coleen J. Seng’s tree for the Heritage League’s annual “Holiday of Trees” event this week will share the theme of this year’s Star City Holiday Parade, “Our Lasting Treasure.” The parade marks its 20th anniversary this year, and the Mayor’s tree will be decorated with ornaments representing two decades of parade magic.

The “Holiday of Trees” event is from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., December 2nd and 3rd at Lincoln’s Unitarian Church, 6300 “A” Street. The Mayor’s tree is one of 26 that will be on display. The event includes a boutique, refreshments and entertainment. Admission is $1, and proceeds will benefit the People’s City Mission.

The 20th annual Star City Holiday Parade begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, December 4, in downtown Lincoln. More information is available at www.starcityholidayfestival.org.

The Mayor’s tree will be on display during regular business hours from December 6th through 31st outside her office at the County-City Building, 555 South 10th Street.
