Get ready! An extravaganza of creatively decorated trees is coming to the County.  Local businesses will be decorating trees for a weekend event planned to raise money for an area nonprofit dental clinic which serves the oral health needs of children from all over the County.

Members of the Presque Isle Knights of Columbus and the St Apollonia Dental Clinic Board of Directors have come together to organize the County’s First Annual Festival of Trees. With the generosity of many businesses and organizations, the group is introducing this fundraiser to Aroostook County after similar successful events in Lewiston and Bangor.
