Volunteers Needed!
Help us transform the Mansion into a wonderland of Christmas magic! Volunteering is a wonderful way to be part of this tradition and make the event a success. We need helping hands before, during, and after the event, with opportunities ranging from decorating and set-up to greeting guests and clean-up.
This year, we especially need volunteers for parking control on Sunday to ensure a smooth and welcoming experience for our guests. However, there are many ways to get involved—no matter your time or talents, your help makes a difference.
Save the date for Decorating Day – Saturday, November 15, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm.
Vendors Wanted!
We are delighted to welcome back many of our longtime, favorite vendors—returning by popular demand—as well as unique new vendors who bring fresh and exciting offerings to our holiday marketplace.
Interested in becoming a vendor? Please email christmas@lauraltonhall.org Include a brief description of your items and average pricing, photos of your items and booth display/set-up.
