Christmas is coming early at the Our Valley Events headquarters. And we need your help! Our Valley Events wants YOU to be a part of our 2014 Tinsel Trail Tree!
How You Can Help
In case you haven’t heard, we think Huntsville rocks! So our theme for our 2014 Tinsel Trail Tree is “Find Your Fun in Huntsville!”
So where do you come in?
Our tree is going to be all about Huntsville. YOUR Huntsville. So we need you to show us how YOU have fun in town!
In a word: PHOTOS. Lots and lots of photos.
How It Works:
Ready to get started? Here’s exactly what you need to do:
- Take a photo of yourself
- Post it to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
- Use the hashtag #OVEselfie somewhere in your post or tweet
- Post your photos by November 20th
We’ll collect all your beautiful photos and transform them into the best looking decorations the Tinsel Trail has ever seen!
What We’re Looking For:
So what kind of photos are we looking for to decorate our tree?
In a word: FUN!
Photo Ideas:
- Your favorite place to eat
- An event you had a blast at
- You favorite place to shop in town
And those are just a FEW ideas. Let your imagination run wild. Have fun, as we say!
So start snapping!! We’ll feature some of our favorite pics on our Facebook and Instagram.
Things to Remember
If you’re posting photos on your personal Facebook Page, we may not see them because of your privacy settings. And we WANT to see everyone’s photos! So here’s what you can do:
- When you post your #OVEselfie photo, set the photo to public so we can see it. Not sure what we’re talking about? Here’s some help.
- Post your photo on our Facebook Page wall here.
