Thursday, September 9, 1993 Winston-Salem Chronicle Page A9 Arts Council to Sponsor National Christmas Tree The Arts Council has accepted the opportunity to sponsor the trim ming of the Christmas tree which will represent North Carolina in Washington, D.C. in the Christmas “Pageant of Peace and Lighting of the National Christmas Tree” festiv ities. At this time, the Arts Council is requesting the donation of orna ments to decorate the North Car olina tree. Everyone is invited to participate, both the amateur or the professional artist and craftsman, by contributing one or more ornaments. Through your contribution of time and talent, you can represent the state in a very special way. The ornament you donate will be a part of the “Pageant of Peace.” The Christmas “Pageant of Peace and Lighting of the National Christmas Tree” is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-commercial, national celebration sponsored by the Christmas Pageant of Peace Inc. and the National Park Service. The lighting of the National Christmas Tree itself is a 67-year tradition that began with President Calvin Coolidge in 1923. Every President since then has “turned on the lights” in a ceremony that has become a national symbol of Christmas and the brotherhood of man. , , i'Surrounding the National Chnstmas Tree are 57 smaller trees. representing each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the United States’ territories. Together, these trees form the “Pathway of Peace,” Each tree is decorated with unique ornaments created by the residents of each state. The theme this year is “Unity.” Any ornament representative of North Carolina, however, is appro priate. Any shape or material may be used. Each ornament should not be more than four inches in diame ter and weigh approximately six to eight ounces. The deadline for donating an ornament is Oct. 1 at the Arts Council office, 305 W. Fourth St., Winston-Salem, NC 27101. Anyone interested in participat ing should call the Arts Council at 722-2585 or visit the council offices in downtown Winston-Salem.
