The Festival of Trees is now beginning work on its 4th year as a family-centered community event at the Nessmith-Lane Conference Center on the Georgia Southern University campus. Proceeds from the festival go toward serving the children and families through Christmas in the Boro.

Come and enjoy the beauty and creativity of various custom-designed and decorated trees. There will be a large selection of trees in varying sizes, shapes, and designs, a gingerbread village and wreaths. Most items will be available for raffle. You'll also enjoy a visit from Santa, local performers and an avenue of wonderful vendors.
The entire community is invited to kick-off their holiday season at the Festival of Trees! Come enjoy the beauty and wonderment of Making Magical Moments.

Plans for the 2012 Festival are underway. Anyone interested in sponsoring a tree or wreath for "Festival of Trees 2012" may contact Kelly Pye, Continuing Education, at 912.478.7977.
