Here&#8217;s what they told me by email:<\/p>\n<p><em>As part of Mandan\u2019s Holiday Shop Hop, KTM Cycle Hutt offered a challenge to their 16 employees: decorate the best tree and win $1,000 in cash; 2nd place $500; 3rd place $100.<\/p>\n<p>To jump-start the decorating frenzy, each employee was given $250. The 16 uniquely decorated Christmas trees will be on display from December 2nd through December 28th outside KTM Cycle Hutt located on the Strip in Mandan (3700 Memorial Highway).<\/p>\n<p>Drive by to view the colorfully lit Christmas trees during this holiday season. If you would like to vote for your favorite Christmas tree visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyclehutt.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.cyclehutt.com<\/a> or stop in the dealership 9 am to 9 pm weekdays, Saturday 9 am to 1 pm. through December 20th. For 2008 KTM Cycle Hutt will allow non-employee Christmas tree entries.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/ktm_trees_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center>I stopped by to visit Justin and Tammy and take some pictures, since the trees are located strategically around their giant parking lot. I thought I had a favorite tree, but I have to admit I&#8217;m stuck on two. This one depicts a motorcycle crash, one of my favorite pasttimes! There are wheels lying at the base, with fenders sticking out and even a helmet. Very cool!<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/ktm_trees_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center>This fishing tree is pretty sweet too. Note the frozen fish dangling from the arm of the chair! I don&#8217;t know where the bobber came from, but that&#8217;s pretty impressive as well. Very well done.<\/p>\n<p>You can visit Cycle Hutt on the strip in Mandan. You can&#8217;t miss the trees, which are positioned around the lot. When you drive through, please stop to take a close look at all the trees; there are some pretty cool items hanging in them to complete each tree&#8217;s theme!
