A ninth limited edition tree ornament depicting another local landmark is now available from the Rotary Club of Plattsburgh. This year's three-inch ornament features on the front side a rendering of the famous Monopole Tavern and Restaurant. On the reverse side of the ornament is a description of the seasonal restaurant, which reads "The Monopole Tavern and Restaurant on Protection Avenue is the oldest continuing commercial establishment in downtown Plattsburgh and a rite of passage!"
The porcelain ornament is delicately trimmed in 22-karat gold and fired at 1400 degree for durability. Jody Maloy, co-chair of the Rotary club's ornament committee, said the tree ornaments continue the club’s emphasis on the rich history and beauty of the region.
"The Rotary club receives a lot of positive responses from people who enjoy our efforts to highlight some of the true history of our beautiful area. We’ve also heard some wonderful stories about how much the sites we have chosen for the series of ornaments mean to their families, locally and far away," said Maloy.
