Please consider kicking off the 2011 holiday season with us at our Tenth Annual Festival of Trees! The festivities will begin with the lighting ceremony at 5:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving evening, November 24 at the Grand Ely Lodge. The entire Festival runs from November 24 until noon on December 4 and includes a silent auction to purchase decorated trees.
There is also a Christmas Boutique featuring beautiful hand-crafted items by Ely groups and individuals. The Boutique will be open during the entire Festival of Trees.
A big draw every year is the Memorial Tree that people use to remember or celebrate their loved ones. People can purchase a ‘memorial’ ball/ornament at the Festival and put their loved ones name on it. Memorial Trees are available in Ely, Babbitt, Embarrass, and Tower.
Also look for the annual Vermilion Community College Students’ tree featuring beautifully glazed pottery fish. This is a Festival of Trees favorite!
