Holiday Tree Jubilee Raises Funds, Features Reindeer, Live Nativity and Family Activities
Summary
The Holiday Tree Jubilee on Cedar City’s Main Street raised money for Shop with a Cop, Iron County homeless and Concern Share and included attractions such as live reindeer, carriage rides, a live nativity and audience 'magic wands' used in the show.
Organizers of Cedar City’s Holiday Tree Jubilee said the fundraiser supports local programs including Shop with a Cop, services for Iron County’s homeless and Concern Share. The program, which started earlier in the afternoon, also included family attractions such as live reindeer, carriage rides, character rides and a live nativity staged nearby.
A co-host explained the event’s beneficiaries directly to the crowd: "Every year, the holiday tree jubilee raises money that supports our local shop with a cop program, our Iron County homeless and at risk t's, and our local Concern Share among others," they said. Emcees also told attendees Santa would walk to the church after the lighting and encouraged the crowd to follow.
Event staff and emcees distributed "magical wands" to the audience and noted those items would be used later in the show. Performers included an international-style musical group introduced as Nueva Navidad and youth dancers; the reigning Miss Teen Iron County also spoke about the Jubilee’s role in showing "love and [giving] to everybody in the community."
Organizers thanked local partners and venues, naming the Beverly Taylor Shorenstein Center and 'SCU' for assistance with display locations and lights. The transcript does not specify fundraising totals or exact attendance figures.
