SJLH Festival of Trees
December 7-8
by St. John's Lutheran Hospital
November 29, 2007
The holiday season is upon us and it’s time to celebrate in community style. The 13th annual St. John’s Lutheran Hospital’s Festival of Trees will be held December 7-8 bringing Holiday Dazzle to the communities of Libby and Troy. This event has become an annual tradition bringing the community together during the holidays. From family night to the Festival Gala, there is something for kids of all ages.
The Festival of Trees, which is held at the Libby Memorial Center, is an enchanting exhibit of beautiful holiday trees, hand-decorated and displayed by local merchants and organizations demonstrating their zeal for the holidays, as well as their commitment to family and community.
Friday night is Festival Community/Family night. After you enjoy the all-sports parade and the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree, come enjoy the warmth of the Festival Community/Family Night.
“In the spirit of giving and holiday traditions, there is no admission charge to the Friday night festivities,” commented KC Hoyer, Foundation Director at St. John’s. “In addition to viewing some of the season’s most dazzling trees, you can enjoy the local fare of entertainment, including the Treasure Tones, Select Choirs, and the Libby High School Jazz Band, while the kids visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with their elves. Remember to bring your cameras because we encourage families to use that evening to make holiday memories. The plus is, you can do it all in the warmth of the Memorial Center!”
The doors will be open from 3:00pm to 8:00pm on Friday, with the delicious SJLH Auxiliary Chili Feed from 3:00pm to 7:30pm for only $3.50 a person, and live entertainment beginning at 5:15pm.
Saturday, December 9 is the day to slip into your finery. Saturday evening the Festival is transformed into a shimmering Holiday Fundraising Gala celebration, a one-of-a-kind in our area. Join in the fun as our communities dance and merry-make the night away at the most celebrated Holiday Gala in the county.
Dance to the lively music of Little Elmo and the Mambo Kings while you take in the shimmering trees and excitement of the auction and raffles. Mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres, incredible music, and the dazzling ambiance make this evening the most romantic and exciting of the season! “Our communities really look forward to this holiday tradition. This year is no exception as the tickets are flying out the door,” added Hoyer. “It is such an exciting, elegant, and entertaining way to raise money for healthcare services with this year’s proceeds going to add Digital Mammography to St. John’s Imaging Department.”
The doors open at 6:00pm, with dancing until midnight. Tickets are $40.00 and available at St. John’s Lutheran Hospital.
