Holiday Festival
The 14th Annual Festival of Giving Trees is a display of beautifully decorated trees. The event opened on December 1st and will run through Sunday, December 4th.
Over 100 trees are decorated in the spirit of hope and remembrance. Some are playful, full of toys, a few with traditional Christmas messages, even some with cookies. Each tree’s decorations and the gifts beneath them are being raffled off on Sunday afternoon. This is a community-wide event to bring your family, friends, and neighbors to view some of the most uniquely decorated trees. It is obvious that a great deal of work goes into the planning and executing this event. Many thanks to the event’s chairwoman, Sue Hapgood, and the Festival’s committee members, that once again, planned a spectacular event.
Additionally, there is raffle of several items which would make great gifts for someone on your holiday gift list. As well as live entertainment by local musicians to listen to while you make your way through the displays. The volunteers are friendly and helpful and refreshments are available for purchase.
The Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition, Silent Spring Institute and the Cancer Center at Harrington Hospital are the beneficiaries of this event. The MBCC is both honored and grateful to have been chosen again to benefit from this event.
