The Christmas Tree Lane parade is sponsored by the Wrigley Association, while the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Association oversees the decorations on the lane and the surrounding activities on the green.
Both organizations have house decorating contests.
Thank you Greg for acknowledging the hard work of both organizations. Wrigley Association is working hard with the 7th District Council Office and the City to make the parade memorable and of course you already know of our home decorating contest that occurred on Dec. 6. Many prizes were awarded to the winners. The Wrigley Association is also working the community tent. Please come down to the community tent for some fabulous food and desserts. We hope the community enjoys the Christmas Tree Lane Parade. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Wrigley Association.
Annie Greenfeld, President
