This will be the l0,h year for the event, which will be held Dec. 3-6. Angels Anonymous, a 501 (c)(3) non profit foundation, provides immediate and basic services to those in need in the greater Lincoln City area. The program helps those in need who have exhausted every other avenue of assistance to meet basic short-term needs. It might be the young mother left to fend for herself with no money to feed her children, an elderly man who has had his heat turned off in the dead of winter or a young man desperately in need of employment who receives assistance, h’s anonymous and a one-time only helping hand extended to residents of north Lin coln County. Approximately 30 trees, decorated and sponsored by local businesses and individuals who not only spend hours decorating them but several hundred dollars in decorations for them as well, will be on display at this year's Festival of Trees. In past years, the themes of the individual trees have included Betty Boop, firemen, Harry Potter, chocolates, peacocks, roses, ballerinas, fishing, old- fashioned Christmas, hand-carved orna ments and many splendidly trimmed in specific colors. This year, the festival will be held one week later than in past years. The deco rating of the Christmas trees will begin Dec. 2 at noon. Sponsors have until the following day at noon to finish their trees and have them ready for viewing. Viewing and bidding will take place Dec. 3 from noon to 7 p.m.; Dec. 4-5 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to the auctioning of trees, there will be numerous drawings, special auction items and gift boxes for sale with secret surprises donated by local merchants. Something new that will be announced at a later date is certain to add an element of delight to the event. Bring the whole family to view this wonderland of the Christmas season fea turing exceptional trees decorated beyond imagination. There is no admission fee. The final bidding will occur at the Holiday Ball on the evening of Dec. 6. The Angels Ball takes place Dec. 6 from 5:30 p.m. until midnight. You'll want to dress up in your festive best for this elegant evening on the town. Michael Dane will provide music during the dinner hour and Just Playn' Fun will be the featured entertainment, playing hits from the '60s and '70s, dance and Motown. Tickets, priced at $60, include dinner, dancing and the auction. They can be pur chased at the Lincoln City Visitor’s Center located in the Historic Delake School/ Cultural Center (call 541-994-3302).
