The creatively decorated trees in the SD Mines
Surbeck Center reflect this year’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ theme. The event
is open to the public from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, Nov. 28-30.
Community members are invited to vote on their favorite trees at the
annual holiday Parade of Trees from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday,
Nov. 28-30, in the Surbeck Center at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology.
Cookies and hot cider will be provided throughout these days.
The annual Parade of
Trees is sponsored by the Student Activities
and Leadership Center, which is asking the public to bring canned
food donations as the price of admission. Canned goods will benefit the campus
student food pantry, which is low on supplies.
This event typically
draws between 15 to 30 campus organizations, each striving to outdo one another
and produce the most creative and festive tree of the season. This year’s theme
is “Guardians of the Galaxy,” with the decorations judged to assess each team’s
design in various categories. The public vote will distinguish which team wins
the “People’s Choice Award.” The winners of each category will be announced on
Friday after the voting has closed.
