Festival Of Trees continues to Give

The Festival of Trees continues to give.

Darlene McGillvary is the executive director of the Kenora and Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation and says many of the trees that were purchased last Friday have
been donated to other community groups.

She says of the 25 trees sold at auction, 11 have been donated to local agencies, such as the Hospital Foundation, Pinecrest Home for the Aged and Club Day Away.

McGillvary says they also managed to meet their fundraising target for the festival of trees, generating over 25 thousand dollars from the three day event.
