Wreath on display at “Festival of Trees”

Conococheague Audubon will again participate in Franklin County Visitors Bureau’s “Festival of Trees,” a holiday decorating contest that benefits local cancer care centers. Beneficiary in this third annual event is Cumberland Valley Breast Care Alliance.

Dozens of themed trees and wreaths will be on display from Nov. 20 to Dec. 3 in the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center, 15 S. Main St., Chambersburg. Admission is free.

“Go Native!” is the theme of CAS’ wreath and swag set. In addition to holiday trimmings, we have decorated ours with tiny imitation seed packets that picture native perennial flowers that benefit birds in our area.

When you visit, you may place a bid on any of the displayed greens. Silent auction bids can be placed in person; by phone at 866-646-8060; or by emailing fcvbfestivaloftrees@gmail.com.

To vote on your favorite (or favorites), purchase ballots at four for $1. You may cast as many votes as you wish.

Voting and bidding will end at 7 p.m. Dec. 3. Winners will be announced that evening. For hours, more details, and updated bidding amounts, visit www.explorefranklincountypa.com.
