Help fund a new holiday tree in Fond du Lac park
FOND DU LAC – Fond du Lac community members are being asked to help fund a proposed 20-foot illuminated Christmas tree for Veterans Memorial Park in downtown Fond du Lac. The Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership and Fond du Lac County Veterans Service Office are collaborating on the project, according to a community announcement. Organizers say $12,039 has been raised toward the tree, which is expected to cost just over $17,000. The proposed tree would create a holiday gathering spot for families, veterans and other community members. According to the announcement, organizers envision the tree as an annual tradition where families can take holiday photos and the community can recognize veterans and their service. The tree is also designed so it can be expanded in future years. Donations still needed for Christmas tree Organizers are seeking additional donations to reach the project's fundraising goal.
