The gala event for the 17th Annual Festival of Trees was held Thursday night, at Barber Motors in Weyburn. The annual event is one of the major fundraisers for the Family Place.

The trees, which were contributed and decorated by a number of local businesses and organizations, were auctioned off. There was also a silent auction held with a number of donated items.

The final numbers haven’t been calculated as of yet, but it was considered to once again be a successful event to benefit the Family Place.
