Each year since 1986, the Town of Estes Park employees’ Helping Hands Committee has created commemorative holiday ornaments for purchase by the public. Proceeds from ornament sales provide scholarships for high school seniors and assistance for local families in need. The 2012 ornament commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Estes Park Woman’s Club and features a photo of Hallett Peak taken by local photographer James Frank.

Ornaments are available for $10 each at the following locations: Estes Park Town Hall at 170 MacGregor Ave.; The Estes Park Museum at 200 Fourth St.; The Estes Park Senior Center at 220 Fourth St.; The Estes Park Visitor Center at 500 Big Thompson Ave.; and Peak Hallmark in Upper Stanley Village. Various ornaments from previous years are also available at Town Hall.

Ornaments may also be ordered by mailing your request and payment (checks only, please) to the Town of Estes Park Helping Hands Committee at P.O. Box 1200 in Estes Park, CO 80517. Please calculate your order total to include shipping costs. Shipping for one ornament is $3.50; shipping for two ornaments is $4; shipping for three ornaments is $7; shipping for four ornaments is $7.50.
