Festival Of Trees This Weekend At Parker Middle School

The Reading Education Foundation's Festival of Trees begins Saturday morning at Parker Middle School.

The two-day event starts at 10:30 a.m. and continues all weekend with song, games, and a raffle of decorated Christmas trees. The annual holiday fundraiser is a great family event. Visitors will be delighted and inspired by a winter wonderland of decorated holiday trees that are raffled off to lucky winners. Saturday evening activities consist of a special reading of Polar Express and a pajama party for kids among a forest of fun.

Decorated trees are donated by local families, businesses, organizations, and schools. With a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and themes to choose from, there is something for everyone.

At 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Taylor Hilliard starts things off with holiday songs. During the weekend there will be performances by the RMHS Jazz Band, the Reading Community Concert Band, and the Middle School Select Chorus. Check here for the complete schedule.

Other events include a scavenger hunt, cookie baking, and a silent auction.
