The People's Choice winner for this year's FHN Community Festival of Trees will be the tree that gets the most votes in person at the Freeport Public Library and online via this app. We will announce the winners of the judges' competition and the People's Choice voting Monday, Dec. 13.

There is no purchase necessary to view or vote in the CFOT, and your information will not be used for any reason other than to gather and count votes.

Thank you for voting virtually, and please help our communities slow the spread of COVID-19:

Get vaccinated! Talk to your healthcare provider or visit www.vaccines.gov to find a convenient place where you and your children over the age of five can get vaccinated. Remember, COVID-19 vaccines are FREE.

If you have been vaccinated, get your booster shot. Appointments are available for the Moderna booster on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays in December. Make your appointment at www.fhn.org/booster-registration.

Even if you are fully vaccinated, take some very simple precautions to help stop the spread of germs:

Wear a mask if you’re indoors with people other than close family and friends.

It’s still safest to avoid big gatherings. Be mindful of social distancing when you’re out and about, and respect people’s decision to be “on the safe side.”

Keep washing and sanitizing your hands often, and don’t touch your face. This will help stop the spread not only of COVID-19 but of seasonal colds and flu.

Get your flu shot. A healthy body is better able to fight off germs, so don’t take any chances this year. Influenza is circulating in our communities, and while many COVID-19 precautions help to stop the spread of influenza, it’s best to be safe. You can get your shot at your healthcare provider’s office or pharmacy near you.

We're proud to be a part of your community, and we wish you and your loved ones a healthy, happy holiday season!
