Festival of Trees Lights Up the Season
“We wanted to revamp the event, and make it a family event and I am so very glad to see so many children out,” said Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation board chair Brenda Sparrow at the opening night of the annual Festival of Trees. She led everyone through a practice round of “Ooooh!”s and “Aaaah!”s in preparation for the lighting of a 20-foot outdoor tree.
The 2013 Festival of Trees was held at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts, with hundreds turning out on each of three days. This is the first year it has been held at the Dekker Cente and organizers were pleased with the venue and attendance numbers.

Caring, Sharing, Remembering A COMMUNITY CANDLELIGHT SERVICE Christmas is usually a joyous time full of memories. The bereaved often feel this season makes their loss more painful. You, your family and friends are invited to join others in the community to renew your spirit and honour your loved ones.
Beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and swags were on display and up for bid with the lucky winners taking their treasures home. The funds raised from the event will go toward the purchase of equipment for the Battlefords Union Hospital.
