[Georgetown, DE] Sussex County Habitat for Humanity (SCHFH) ReStore was the site of the Designer Tree Auction and ReStore Reception.
Holiday trees were donated to the ReStore in the months leading up to the event and given to local designers who then had the opportunity to come up with their own rendition of “Home for the Holidays” decorations.
Before guests arrived, the designers had 90 minutes to decorate their trees. Once decorated, the trees were presented in the main aisle of the ReStore and guests were able to “silently” bid on the tree of their choice while sampling delicious libations provided by Baird, Mandalas, Brockstedt as well as traditional holiday appetizers and desserts provided by various volunteers and organizations.
In addition to the Designer Tree auction, there was a 50/50 Raffle and Tricky Tray raffle. Guests were excited to purchase the decorated trees and have them delivered to their home or office just in time for the holidays.
