The Festival of Trees is making its debut and turning the Taylorville Township into Whoville this Saturday, December 14th, with festivities running from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This holiday tradition found a new home thanks to Taylorville Township Supervisor, Billie Heberling and her team, who stepped up to host and bring awareness to the day.

Linda Allen, Executive Director of the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce, expressed her excitement and gratitude for continuing the celebration. Heberling notes that they are still accepting decorated Christmas trees and wreaths for the event’s silent auction.

Many local organizations are involved in Saturday's Festival of Trees with a non-perishable food donation collection for the Taylorville Food Pantry, the Christian County CEO program with their CoCo on-the-go business, Taylorville High School Madrigal Singers, and more.

Taylorville Township serves the community year-round by helping citizens down on their luck, helping with rent and utilities, and bringing aid to senior citizens
