Festival of Trees returns with boutique sale, style show, gala

(ROCKWALL, TX – Oct. 26, 2016) The magic of the holiday season is on its way and the 7th Annual Festival of Trees will be here to kick it off in style! Brighten this joyous holiday season by following the Boutique of Helping Hands to the Hilton Dallas Rockwall Lakefront on Friday, Nov. 18 and Saturday, Nov. 19 for their Huge Tax-Free Holiday Sale.

Hundreds of holiday items, home decor, furniture, jewelry, clothing, wreaths, trees and more will be available for sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, with proceeds benefiting Helping Hands.

While at the boutique sale, festival-goers will enjoy a showcase of extraordinary trees and wreaths on display through Saturday evening. Stop by to vote on your favorite tree, then have the opportunity to purchase it!

New this year, Helping Hands’ Community Circle auxiliary group will host a lady’s luncheon and style show from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18. The luncheon is the perfect place to enjoy friends, feast a little, relax at the fashion show then finish the afternoon strong by shopping the boutique.

Saturday evening will be host to this year’s Festival of Trees Gala where attendees will celebrate the agency’s 40 years of service to Rockwall County. The event will include a bounty of holiday offerings such as:

• Unique live auction items for everyone on your holiday gift list;
• An amazing raffle that includes a fabulous item from Willis Fine Jewelers;
• The opportunity to buy the extraordinary trees and wreaths created for the event;
• A chance to shop the Boutique of Helping Hands.
