Despite the fact its still August and seems way too early to be talking about Christmas, and I got another email today with some holiday questions....Have you heard the big news yet?? Rock River Hospice & Home is bringing its annual Festival of Trees downtown this year! We're so excited to host them...all throughout the downtown, and the fun twists they're planning for the festivities!
Will the trees, etc., be in different store fronts to view? Curious how this will work?

We are so excited to be DOWNTOWN STERLING. Country Store is at 2 E. 3rd St. (old essex building) and Champs Banquet Venue will house our friendship trees and some of our large trees! After a meeting tomorrow, we will have a better idea on where everything will be located. 🙂 We also hope to have a map for everyone. We are really excited to be downtown!
