A local family has started a challenge for others to take part in during the COVID-19 pandemic. TJ Markley says their goal is to spread kindness, hope, and joy, as they have decorated one of their trees in their front yard with items they could find in their home, most of which are made with crafts. Markley says they are calling it the #treeofjoy, and they have challenged other families with school aged children. Markley encourages all families to stay home and post pictures and then drive by to see others’ decorations and maintain social distancing.
