Downing of the Browns

The Frederick Jaycees have a holiday tradition called the "Hanging of the Greens." Every year in mid-November they go out and hang Christmas garlands (ropes of pine branches) and wreaths on the storefronts of various businesses in Frederick. It's a great opportunity for socializing and a fun way to spend one of the last Saturdays before Thanksgiving.

This Saturday (January 5), the chapter goes back into the community for another traditional event. This one is called the "Downing of the Browns" in which members of the chapter go and remove the decorations -- which are perhaps not quite as green as they were two months earlier. This is the final event on the chapter's 2007 Plan of Action.

See you Saturday!
