TreeFest, in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, begins with the area Christmas tree growers and donors who donate over a hundred live trees to be trimmed. Then, hundreds of people from community volunteers and youth groups, to florists and garden clubs set up and decorate the rooms and trees which are each sponsored by an area business or individual.
Throughout the event, local entertainment> is provided, from school choirs to dance groups and folk musicians performing in front of the TreeFest mural. Adding to the holiday atmosphere, TreeFest-goers will be able to start their Christmas shopping with the dozens of professional craft artisans displaying their wares for sale, a gingerbread house contest and a special TreeFest auction to be held Sunday, November 30 at 7:00 p.m. You may be the lucky winner of our quilt raffle.
Seventy-five quality wreaths of fresh greens will be purchased from Heritage Acres. Several volunteers will decorate the wreaths prior to the opening of TreeFest. These beautifully decorated wreaths will be for sale during the two weekends of TreeFest and can be purchased for $25.00. All proceeds benefit Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble.
An elegant Scottish high tea TeaFest will be presented by Sharon Duff at the Caldwell Consistory on Monday, December 1 at 4:00 p.m. Only eighty tickets ($25.00) will be available from October 1st through November 21st by calling Eileen Taylor at 784-6173.
