Perry’s Festival of Trees is a week-long family holiday event that features festively decorated Christmas trees, children’s activities, and entertainment. This year’s event will be held Friday, November 30th through Saturday, Dec. 8th. Each merrily decorated tree is sponsored by local business, nonprofit, civic, and community groups. Make sure to cast your vote for your favorite to win the People’s Choice award. Also on display will be a private collection of antique German nutcrackers & other home decor items.
