BEDFORD, Pa (WJAC) — Downtown Bedford Inc. has several initiatives going to help raise money for new Christmas lights in the borough, as the current ones are approximately 20-years-old.

The centerpiece of the effort is a Christmas tree auction.

The auction is run through 32auctions.com and bidding is done online.

The trees are visible in the M&T Bank window, located at the intersection of Pitt and Juliana streets.

Bidding runs through December 12th and the auction features several unique trees.

“We have one that is natural wood based, with stars cut out of it, very different than the typical Christmas tree. And two of the others offer a “taste of Bedford”, as they have $200 worth of gift certificates to go along with the decorated tree.”
