Festival of Trees - Vote for Your Favorite Tree

At Hickory Knob State Resort Park


Dear Christmas Tree Contest Voters,
Step into the holiday spirit as you explore the themed and beautifully decorated Christmas trees that were submitted by local businesses, organizations, and community members as part of our annual Festival of Trees! While you walk through the Christmas trees, find your favorite and make sure you submit a vote for the best decorated tree. All voters will be entered into a drawing for exciting giveaway prizes. !

On the First Day of Christmas (can you hear the tune?) Tree contest voting, December 1, from 5pm-7pm, we will have special opening night festivities including hot cocoa and apple cider, Christmas music, and a chance to visit with Santa! Professional pictures with Santa are available for $10.

Your first vote for the contest is free, but you can cast additional votes for $5/vote. Bring an item from the Humane Society's wish list and receive 2 additional votes!

Items needed include: 1 gallon bottle of bleach, Dawn dish soap, box of Puppy Pads, 3 rolls of paper towels, 2 pet toys, dog or cat food (small bag), or 3 cans of wet food for dogs or cats.
