In early December, Sterling House / Clare Bridge, Greenville hosted their 2nd Annual Festival of Trees. The 4-day event was open to the public where holiday trees and wreaths were on display for silent auction.
Executive Director, Bryan Davenport, said, “We were pleased with the community turn out for our 2nd Festival of Trees! Our goal was to help support a local non-profit organization and to bring a little holiday cheer to the community.”
Local businesses & organizations who contributed to the event included: State of the Heart Hospice, Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home, The Flower Patch, American Red Cross Blood Mobile, Heartland Hospice, Family Health Pharmacy, Greenville High School Music Department & Zechar-Bailey Funeral Home.
In addition to the trees & wreaths being on silent auction, visitors to the event were asked to judge the items in 3 categories. The winners were: Most Traditional – Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home; Most Unique – The Flower Patch; Peoples Choice – State of the Heart Hospice.
“This event is successful because of community involvement. We hope to build on our success in 2011 and make the 2012 Festival Trees even bigger and better!” said Davenport.
