The third annual Festival of Trees at the Carnegie Library Museum began its month-long run last week, and visitors can continue to view the numerous themed Christmas trees and holiday decorations from noon-4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, Saturday, Dec. 10 and Saturday, Dec. 17.
Sunday hours for the festival are 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, Sunday, Dec. 11 and Sunday, Dec. 18.
Santa Claus will visit the Carnegie Festival of Trees Sunday, Dec. 11 from 1-2:30 p.m. and will be happy to greet good little children and have his photo taken with them.
Admission to the Carnegie Library Museum Festival of Trees is free, and visitors can vote with their free-will donations for their favorite tree or display. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Carnegie, which receives no programming funding from the city of Perry and stages its events on a shoestring budget.
This year’s list of local tree decorators included 33 individuals, businesses and civic and religious groups.
