 The 3rd Annual Festival of Trees kicked off November 17th with our Preview Reception at the Mary Brogan Museum   Those who came enjoyed being among the first to view and purchase the unique artfully decorated holiday trees fashioned by community members and local businesses and churches.  Each of the 62 trees is beautifully adorned and showcases amazing aesthetic creativity.  It was a culturally enriching experience with tree themes such as Micah 6:8, Seminole Pride, Readers and Leaders and Christmas Couture, just to name a few.  There was a Silent Auction with fantastic items won, including dog obedience training, spa massage treatments, a birthday party for ten at Happy Trails horse ranch to name a few. Musical Performances by local artists were performed by First Brass, Ceremonial Flutes and the Maharajah Flamenco Trio. In addition, hors d'oeuvres and beverages were delicious and plentiful.  It was an an elegant and enchanting evening.  Thank you to our sponsors and guests for making the event a success.

What a Beautiful way to start the holiday season!
