Festival of Trees Winner

TOCCOA, GA – December 9, 2019 – The thirteenth annual Festival of Trees was held on December 4 in downtown Toccoa. Eleven trees were on display in front of ten businesses. For $1, visitors were able to vote for their favorite tree.  Businesses and non-profit organizations decorated the trees, many with themes that reflected their organization.  Each group received the proceeds from their votes.  In addition to the money received from the vote, the tree with the most votes won a $500 grand prize.

The tree with the most votes was sponsored by the Open Arms Clinic and was set up on Tugalo Street in front of CK Morgan and Company.

“Congratulations to Open Arms Clinic for their beautiful tree which helped to raise much needed funds for their organization. All the trees were beautiful and each group worthy of the money that was raised,” said Sharon Crosby, City of Toccoa Special Events Coordinator. “We would like to thank Michele Whiten at CK Morgan and Company for allowing Open Arms Clinic to set up in front of her store. We would also like to thank each organization and business that put up a tree. Each one was beautiful and reflected the group they represented.”
