PORT ANGELES — The 13th annual Festival of Trees begins at 10 a.m. Friday with the first of two “Teddy Bear Teas” at the Vern Burton Community Center, located at Fourth and Peabody streets.
The festival runs through 4 p.m. Sunday. This year’s theme is “A Cowboy Christmas.”
The festival includes a second Teddy Bear Tea at 11:30 a.m. Friday, followed by a gourmet buffet, dancing and auction from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.; a holiday breakfast for seniors and the disabled from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Saturday; and “family days” from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Family events feature tree displays, musical entertainment and a children’s activity area.
“We put on the Festival of Trees for two reasons,” said Olympic Medical Center Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner.
