Thank You to Everyone Who Made Festival of Trees a Success
The magic of the 25th annual Festival of Trees unfolded Saturday, December 6 at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center to an excited and appreciative crowd. Festival of Trees , presented by Redmond-Sisters Hospice with Fred Meyer as the supporting sponsor, is a long-standing holiday tradition in the Redmond community. The event features some 35 individually-decorated Christmas trees, holiday wreaths, a live and silent auction, visits with Santa and much more. Festival of Trees draws more than 2,500 community visitors while raising important funds for Redmond-Sisters Hospice. These funds support patient care, grief support services, youth counseling and volunteer programs. The event showcases the creative talents of individual tree decorators and ushers in the holiday season with festive activities and an elegant Gala Buyer's Auction.
The 2009 Festival will be held at Eagle Crest Resort this year and will take place on Saturday Dec. 5. Evening Festival goers will have the option of participating in a sit-down dinner or in simply enjoying hors d'oeuvres. Please watch for ticket price postings later in the year.
Free family activities, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. draw the community together to enjoy elaborate Christmas trees, wreaths and holiday fare. Children can visit Santa, participate in games or build something at the Home Depot Children's Workshop. Entertainment by local music and dance groups, raffles and a silent auction add to the day's festivities.
This year the magical Gala Buyer's Auction will begin at 7 p.m. after the dinner and/or hors d'oeuvres. Auction event tickets will be available through Redmond-Sisters Hospice and will go on sale November 1, 2009.
