SPRINGVILLE — The Springville Preservation Society has announced the inaugural Festival of Trees that will take place on Saturday, Nov. 19, and Sunday, Nov. 20, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the historic 1872 Springville Presbyterian Church campus.
Individuals, groups, civic organizations, businesses, and churches are encouraged to register to participate. There will be categories for Christmas Trees and wreaths.
You may be asking yourself, ‘why November?’ The Society wants to begin this annual event when there is time to enjoy it before the busy holiday season and kick off the season. The Society will also host a home tour later in the holiday season. The timing will also allow time for use of personal Christmas trees before they are used for decorating during the holiday season.
Participants are encouraged to decorate the trees with a theme in mind or to tell a story. The proceeds from the event will be used to continue the work of maintaining three historic structures by the Springville Preservation Society.
