A Weekend of Holiday Fun!
Festival of Trees is a fun and festive event and is the perfect way to kick off your holiday season! A two-day extravaganza with events everyone in the family will enjoy! The festival's grand finale is a Live Auction, which will dazzle you!
Schedule of Events:
12:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Silent Auction
The annual Festival of Trees Silent Auction is full of specialty items including handcrafted products, baked goods, tickets, memberships, or customized baskets. This fundraiser is where you make a donation and bring some awesome items home as a result! Shop for Christmas, goodies for Thanksgiving, or a gift for that new grandchild.
Sign up in advance and enjoy electronic bidding using ClickBid while at the event, from home, or both. With ClickBid you can view and place bids on favorite items with your smartphone, tablet, or computer. When the auction closes, you will automatically be charged for the items you won. You can pick up your items at the event or a designated time.
So, join in the fun with our bidding software and never get outbid again. Bidding will open at a later date.
Silent Auction closes 15 minutes after the conclusion of the Live Auction.
