The lucky winners of the trees, mini-trees, and wreaths of the 30th Annual Festival of Trees have all been chosen and they’re all safely in their new homes in at least 53 communities throughout
Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and Maine!
“Although the Festival’s tree pick-up day is always a little chaotic, it’s really wonderful to see the
excitement on the faces of each winner,” said Festival president Tom Lussier. “Watching each tree leave for its new home reminds all of us of the generosity of our tree donors, volunteers, financial supporters, and the thousands of visitors that make this amazing event so successful each year,” he added.
In addition to announcing the tree winners, the Festival announced that Stephen Georgopolis of
Londonderry, NH was the winner of the Festival’s annual cash raffle.
