This year's Festival of Trees was bigger and better than last year's event.

The fundraiser, to benefit the St. Apollonia Dental Clinic, was held once again at the gymnasium at Northern Maine Community College this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Proceeds for this year's event are just over $46,000, up from $30,000 last year. There were 51 decorated Christmas trees on display which people could buy tickets for to drop in the bucket of their favorite tree and hopefully win that tree along with its ornaments and presents. An estimated 4000 people came through the doors to view some beautifully decorated trees.

A big thanks to all the businesses, individuals, families and organizations who generously sponsored the trees and to the volunteers who also made the event a success.

At the conclusion Sunday afternoon, 51 people were chosen as winners of each tree, along with the ornaments and presents underneath each tree. Congratulations to all the winners and all those who attended for making the Fesival of Trees a big success.
