Christmas 2020

COVID-19 has created many challenges for Businesses, Organizations, and Citizens alike. 

The members of DOIT have decided Christmas MUST GO ON!

We have accepted the challenge to keep the Christmas Spirit alive and well using the theme Our Hometown This Christmas and the events listed below.

HOMETOWN CHRISTMAS 2020

COVID 19 has created many challenges this year, but the members of D.O.I.T. have accepted the challenge to keep Christmas ALIVE! We intend to create a walking environment for families to take a stroll through Shippensburg either on foot or by car. The theme will take us back to

A HOMETOWN CHRISTMAS

Your involvement is still very much needed. Instead of organizations creating floats or individuals creating costumes for a parade, we are asking for your participation by creating a decoration to display downtown. It can be anything from a stand alone creation or adopting a store front business to display your creations. There will be larger areas available if we have overflow. All decorations should be in place before the Virtual Christmas tree lighting ceremony on November 28th. D.O.I.T. will be judging your creations just as we have in the past at the parades. Please complete the following form and return to DO.I.T. so that we can meet the needs for your display in a timely manner.

Let’s Go SHIPPENSBURG – Show your Holiday Spirit!
