Festival Of Trees Runs Through Dec 1
The annual Festival of Trees is now
underway at South Towne Expo Center, 9575 South State Street, Sandy,
south of Salt Lake City. It features beautifully decorated trees and other visual treats, food, music and plenty of fun.
The Expo Center turns into a Christmas
wonderland during the festival, which is open from 10 am to 10 pm
daily. See the festival
website for detailed information.
The event is a benefit for Primary
Children's Mecial Center. The Deseret News has this
article about the festival. Below are excerpts. Below that we
offer a short video that provides an overview of the festival.
(Marie) Partridge
has spent seven years on the board of the 42-year-old festival that
organizers call a "gift of love" to children at Primary
Children's Medical Center. Since its inception in 1971, the festival
has raised more than $30.8 million for the children's hospital.
"It gets in
your blood," she said, "and you want to do more."
The Festival of
Trees attracted 100,000 people last year, Partridge said.
