Glitter and Magical Feel at Festival of Trees

By 250 News

There may be fewer decorated trees in this year's  rendition of the Festival of Trees, but there is no shortage of glitter, lights, items on which to  place a silent auction bid, or  try to win through a raffle.

Spirit of the North Foundation Director David Wharrie says there are some new items this year,  a sit down dinner for the gala auction night, a larger  kids craft area, a Friday  coffee break for those who work throughout the week and don't have the opportunity to visit the Festival except on the weekend, a health clinic where  kids can  have their blood pressure checked, or hear their own heart beat.  "The health clinic really  links this event to what  it's all about, and that is raising funds for  Prince George Regional Hospital."
