Tarleton’s Gordon Center is inviting in for some friendly Christmas competition in the annual Christmas Tree Extravaganza that is now underway.
The annual Christmas Tree Extravaganza showcases trees decorated by businesses in Gordon, Strawn and Mingus. Festooned firs are on display throughout the gallery, and guests are asked to vote for their favorites.
Ballots are available in the museum, and voting will continue until the holiday closure in December. The winner will be announced on social media Jan. 1.
