🎄 In Memory of Keith Moore

The Christmas Tree Competition is held in loving memory of Keith Moore of ShelBell Farm. Keith's love of the land and of a well-grown tree is something a lot of families in Cumberland County remember fondly, and this competition is our way of keeping that going year after year.

Every tree entered is a small tribute, and we'd love to see the barn full of them.
