For this year, Memorial’s Festival of Trees is set to be virtual. The festival, which will take place, November 21st through the 29th, will be able to view more than 100 decorated trees and wreaths online at no cost. The season’s theme this year is “A Season of Hope.” Executive Director of the Memorial Medical Center Foundation, Melissa Hansen Schmadeke, is excited for this year’s festival but knows it’s going to be different.

Schmadeke says that people will be able to vote for their favorite trees and wreaths in different categories.

Schmadeke stressed that due to the changes for this year, there are still a lot of things being worked on including take-home potholders.
