Yesterday’s Festival of Trees was truly magical, and we are so thankful to everyone who came out to enjoy this special event with us. We were thrilled with the wonderful turnout from our community and loved seeing everyone admire the creativity, holiday spirit, and talent that went into each tree.
A huge thank you to Christy, our Director of Dining, for preparing such delicious appetizers and festive holiday punch—everything was absolutely wonderful and enjoyed by all!
