Festival of Trees raises cash, brings donors together
By ERICK PETERSON
East Oregonian
HERMISTON — Festival of
Trees was diff erent this year, but its
spirit remained the same, accord-
ing to event organizers.
The event, Saturday, Dec. 4,
at the Hermiston Community
Center, Hermiston, returned after
a one-year hiatus due to COVID-
19. Held as an annual dinner for the
past 25 years up to 2019, it came
back this year as an online and
walk-through auction.
Auction items included Christ-
mas tree sets, each of which was
decorated with its own unique
theme. Sets could include food;
others had furniture. One set,
which celebrated manhood, incor-
porated a kayak.
“It’s a good way for the commu-
nity to open up the holidays with
an event that’s beautiful,” John
Spomer, event co-chair, said.
Spomer, who has been involved
in the event for around 15 years,
added that Festival of Trees also
is beneficial as a fundraiser.
Every year, he said, the Hermis-

the festival nets more $40,000 after
expenses. This money is made
through ticket sales and sponsor-
ships, as well as the auction, they
said.
Marvin pointed out the 2021
event did not have the expense of
the usual dinner, but it did have a
new cost.
