Show Festival of Trees help needed Plans are once again under way for the Festival of Trees to be held at the Salt Palace Nov. 30 through Dec. 3. Organizers have been hard at work for several months now to put together this annual fund raiser for charity care of children at Primary Children's Medical Center, but lots and lots of help is needed to make this year's festival a successful way to help many, many sick and injured in-jured children. The Festival of Trees operates totally on a volunteer basis and sells only homemade donated items. If you would like to be a part of the 18th annual festival, there are several ways to become involved. You could decorate and donate a Christmas tree or you could become the highest bidder to buy one of over 300 trees donated each year. This tree would be delivered to your front door immediately following festival week. We also need thousands of people to make items of your choice to be sold in our Gift Boutique, Sweet Shoppe or Small Fry Shoppe (where items can be found to suit a child's interest and budget). Other areas which rely on donations are Gingerbread Village, where many delightful creations can be found which are 18" or larger and depict houses, churches, log cabins, castles or whatever the imaginative baker can create with gingerbread. Also, each year hundreds of volunteers help as hostesses, in order to maintain a smooth and informative atmosphere.
