Festival of Trees and Wreaths
This annual event focuses on Taoseños’ decorating creativity, while raising money for a good cause.

This year’s event will be held at El Monte Sagrado. Silent bids and public viewing run from Saturday, November 28 through Friday, December 4.

Thursday, December 3 will be an exclusive holiday party for children sponsored by Twirl Toy Store and Activity Center. Friday, December 4 beginning at 6 pm, will be the main event at El Monte Sagrado, entry is $20 per person, children attend free. Visit www.taosnews.com or call 575-758-2241 for more information.
