A small forest of fabulously decorated trees is adorning Belk court at Town Mall for this years Festival of Trees, benefitting Shepherd's Staff.
The silent auction for the decorated trees and goodies that go with them will close at 4 p.m. Dec. 14.
The Festival of Trees benefits Shepherd's Staff, a Christian outreach and support center that has been helping citizens in need since 1989.The goal in creating Shepherd's Staff was to consolidate the efforts of area churches to avoid duplications of services. The organization does not receive federal, state or county funding.
Shepherd's Staff provides many other services and programs from its facility at 30 Carroll Street in Westminster.
Even if you don't bid on a tree, it's worth a trip to see them, and maybe even get some ideas for your own tree.
What is your favorite tree at this year's Festival of Trees? Did you bid on it? Tell us in the comments.
