Although it’s a relatively new tradition, The Arc’s Festival of Trees has become a much-anticipated warmup to the holidays in Salisbury.
The signature fundraising event of the Arc of Rowan, the festival is a showcase of beautifully decorated Christmas trees, on display at the F&M Trolley Barn, 125 E. Liberty St. The festival opens Friday evening and runs through Sunday.
Thanks to the proceeds from last year’s festival, The Arc was able to provide support for nearly 1,800 people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities in 2012.
The Festival of Trees is sponsored by Food Lion, LLC, Sara Lee, Wells Fargo, F&M Bank, and many other Rowan County partners. For more information visit www.thearcofrowan.org, or call 704-637-1521.
The Arc of Rowan is a Rowan County United Way Agency.
The event is free to the public; donations are appreciated.
