It’s time to deck the halls—and the trees! Local businesses, clubs, and civic organizations are invited to reserve a spot for the West Plains Public Library Foundation Board’s annual Festival of Trees Christmas Gala. For $100, your business or organization can reserve a tree space and begin decorating on November 16. Get creative, have fun, and show our community your holiday spirit!

The Festival of Trees Christmas Gala will be held December 10 from 6–8 p.m. Throughout the season, visitors may vote for their favorite tree for $1 per vote. Votes will be tallied on the evening of the gala, and the organization with the winning tree will receive bragging rights and a commemorative plaque.

Want to join us for the gala? Tickets will be available for purchase in November and December for $40 per adult, ages 21 and older. Admission includes appetizers and a cocktail.

It’s going to be a fabulous evening celebrating our community, the holiday season, and the West Plains Public Library. Best of all, proceeds from the event will support library improvements and programs.

Reserve your tree space and be part of this special holiday tradition!
