The people’s choice winner and the Directors Choice are determined by vote ($1 per vote or $5 for 10 votes). Voting/judging begins Dec. 7. Winners will be announced on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.
“Fantasy Forest started many years ago, when Lorie Rutledge was director of the museum,” said David Deaton, LeFlore County Museum director. “The trees were decorated just like now, except the trees were auctioned off in the early part of December. I wanted the museum and its patrons to be able to enjoy the Christmas season all the way through Christmas. This is now the third year where the trees are voted on and will remain on display through December.”
Come by and take your family Christmas photos at the museum.
The LeFlore County Museum is located at 303 Dewey Avenue in downtown Poteau and is open from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays or by appointment by calling (918) 647-9330.

“Come walk through the Forest, take selfies, family photos and just take in the beauty of the “Fantasy Forest” said Deaton, “ The museum will be open after hours on Friday and Saturday evenings, so come on in and vote and have a Merry Christmas.”
