Festival of Trees Seeks New Ways to Connect with the Community
As a cherished tradition in our community, the Festival of Trees is excited to expand its reach this year by introducing a brand-new event. This year, individuals, organizations, and businesses are invited to participate by decorating a tree or wreath or providing a gift basket, which will be featured in an online auction generously donated by Cedar Valley Iowa Realty/Auction.
To launch this exciting addition, we’ll host an in-person viewing event on Friday, November 7th (noon-7pm), and Saturday, November 8th (10am-2pm), where attendees can preview the beautifully decorated trees. Bidding will open immediately and continue throughout the event. A final viewing will take place during the Pink Friday Shop Local event on Friday, November 21st (noon-7pm). The auction will close on Sunday, November 23rd, with tree pick-up scheduled for November 24th or 25th, or Monday, December 1st. PLEASE NOTE ENTRY DEADLINE (TO SIGN UP) IS SUNDAY - OCT 26TH.
