“A Festival of Trees showcases Christmas trees, each beautifully and uniquely decorated by various individuals, organizations, businesses, etc., that are auctioned off during an exciting night of community and holiday spirit,” said Carrie Shaw, chair of the Daviess Community Hospital Festival of Trees committee.
Tickets are available for $35 per person or $60 per couple at https://dchfestivaloftrees.godaddysites.com/.
