FOSTORIA — The City of Fostoria is inviting businesses, organizations and families to sign up for “Deck the Tree, Fostoria!” the city said Tuesday on Facebook.

Sign-ups are being handled through the city’s SeeMyLegacy site, app.seemylegacy.com/community/2696, where “Deck the Tree, Fostoria!” is listed among the city’s current community campaigns.

The city uses SeeMyLegacy as a hub for community campaigns, event sign-ups and sponsorships. A city webpage, Community Campaigns & Opportunities, directs residents, businesses and organizations to that same platform to view active campaigns and get involved.

Tuesday’s Facebook post announced the Deck the Tree sign-up and said businesses, organizations and families may take part. A detailed public description of the display rules, the tree’s location, and any sign-up deadline was not posted on the city’s website calendar in the pages reviewed Tuesday evening. People who want to participate should use the SeeMyLegacy campaign listing or contact the city for the current instructions.

The campaign appears alongside other Fostoria holiday efforts on the same platform, including 2026 Snow Queen nominations and registration for the Rotary Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 5. Those are separate sign-ups.

Fostoria’s holiday season traditionally includes downtown events and a community tree lighting. Deck the Tree is the city’s sign-up for groups and families that want to take part in decorating.

The city’s SeeMyLegacy page lists Madison Stearns, [email protected], and the main city telephone number, 419-435-8282, as the contacts for community campaigns. City offices are at 213 S. Main St.

The Community Campaigns & Opportunities page is at fostoriaohio.gov/1207/Community-Campaigns-Opportunities.
