Keystone Square Museum’s 2009 holiday theme for the Christmas tree and gingerbread house contests is “Boot Scootin’ Christmas.”

Participants might go western with cowboy or cowgirl boots, use a go-go boot theme or salute a newborn with knitted baby booties.

A prize will be given to the top tree and gingerbread house that best use the theme. First-, secondand third-place prizes also will be given in age categories.

Decorated trees should be delivered to the museum Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Monday from 6-8 p.m. Participants must provide their own artificial trees.

The public will judge entries on Dec. 4 during the Carol of Lights.

Gingerbread houses should be delivered to the museum on Thursday from 4-6 p.m. for judging, and picked up Dec. 21 from 10 a.m. to noon or 3-6 p.m. For information, phone 556-2224.
