A6 COMMUNITY/RECORDS East Oregonian Tuesday, December 7, 2021 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.
