OSAWATOMIE — The mayor of Osawatomie is looking for the most sincere Christmas tree in Osawatomie. For the first, a Mayor’s Christmas Tree contest is under way, and the city is seeking a 16-foot live Christmas tree to display outside city hall this holiday season. If you have a tree on your property you would like considered, contact city hall by Friday with your name and address. Call city hall at 913-755-2146. Submissions will be viewed during the weekend and selected by the mayor.

The winning tree owner will receive $100 and his or her name will be displayed by the tree this season and will be placed on a plaque inside city hall that will be added to each year.
