The 2007 fundraiser, held over Thanksgiving weekend, raised $135,000 through the hard work of chairman Joyce Philip, co-chairman Debbie Holmes-Wilkins, and their wonderful legion of volunteers.
The 2007 event, “Once Upon a Christmastime,” was held at the historic Tidewater Inn in Easton and featured a sparkling exhibit of over 70 trees of all sizes decorated by volunteers, a glamorous Cocktail Preview Party, and a Christmas Gift Shop. Other venues hosted a myriad of events, including a Senior Citizens’ Bingo Tea, a Champagne Brunch and Homes Tour, a Daddy/Daughter Dance, a dinner auction called “Santa’s Got A Brand New Bag,” and Candy Cane Lane, a special children’s crafts and activities program. A 10K Run and 5K Walk for Hospice was sponsored by the Talbot County YMCA.
The 2008 Festival of Trees, "The Stars Come Out at Christmas" will offer another wonderful array of events November 29 – December 2, 2008. Please check this website for updated information.
