At noon, Jubilee guests are invited to attend the dedication of a new copper beech tree in the north cemetery of the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, directly across Route 206. The tree, planted in memory of Leah Deni, replaces a magnificent 200-year-old American beech that fell in 2009. The congregation will be selling cheese and bread boards made from the wood of the historic tree.

VENDORS WANTED: The Jubilee also provides an excellent opportunity for local businesses, artists/artisans, and nonprofit organizations to exhibit their products and services. The fee for a 10’ X 10’ space is $50 ($75 for food vendors).
