The Trees
The amazing display of holiday trees are customized with themes from the most creative minds for every style preference.
Attending FOT supports our area nonprofits. The non-perishable food drive along with proceeds from the tree bids will be in support of two important community resources—HACAP and Tanager Place. This year’s theme for FOT is all about Children’s Mental Health.
