2018 Festival of Trees

Tocccoa, GA – October 1, 2018 – For the 11th year, Main Street Toccoa is working
together with local businesses and organizations to help non-profits through the Festival
of Trees on November 29 – December 1. This event offers opportunities to help raise
money for the non-profits and charities in the community. Last year, over 900 visitors
came to view the beautiful trees and to give to the charities.

Businesses, civic groups, schools, individuals, families, or non-profit organizations are
invited to decorate and display a tree. The trees will be on display Thursday, November
29 from 8 am – 5 pm in the courtroom of the historic courthouse. They will also be open
for display on November 30 from 8 am – 9 pm. Voting will take place November 30, 5 –
9 pm and Saturday, December 1 from 12 pm – 4 pm. The public will vote on their
favorite Christmas tree for one dollar a vote. All proceeds will go to a non-profit
organization which is designated by the designer. The tree with the highest amount
earned will receive the Grand Prize of $500 for the non-profit organization they
represent.

Applications can be found at www.mainstreettoccoa.com . “This is a great way for our
local businesses to show their support for those doing a wonderful service in our
community. It is also a great way for our non-profits to give information about their
organizations. Many don’t know about the many services our community has and how
they can help,” stated Sharon Crosby, Special Events Coordinator for Toccoa.
