The Pennyroyal Center is bringing back the Festival of Trees to the War Memorial Building starting on December 10 and tree sponsorships are open now.
The festival was cancelled last year due to COVID-19 and Ashley Boze with the Pennyroyral Center says while they’re still trying to be as cautious as possible, they’re excited to bring back the Festival of Trees and all the fun that comes with it.
They typically have activity stations for kids to take part in, but this year they’ll be able to take those things home to enjoy. Boze says the festival opens for appointments on December 10 for people who want to take advantage of a more socially distanced event, but it opens to the public fully on December 11.
She says sponsorships are open now for businesses and agencies that would want to decorate and have their name on a tree for people to enjoy.
People will be able to vote for their favorite trees by entering a raffle and the winners of the drawing will get to take that tree home. Proceeds raised by ticket sales will go to benefit programs and residents of the Pennyroyal Center. For more information, contact the Pennyroyal Center.
