Brighten Colfax this holiday season by entering the 2019 Festival of Trees this December in The Center at Colfax Library. Businesses, community agencies, and individuals are encouraged to enter.

Festive trees from our 2018 contest

This year’s trees will be judged in 4 categories, 3 of which will be voted on by the public. Categories include most creative, people’s choice, kids’ choice and judge’s choice. Thanks to funding from Colfax Chamber of Commerce, winners in these categories will receive $75 gift certificates to the Colfax business of their choice.

Pioneer Title Company will again sponsor a raffle tree titled “The twelve days of Christmas.” Tickets are just one dollar and all proceeds will benefit children’s programs at the library.

Last year’s Festival of Trees

Two fun opportunities to view the trees are “Colfax Winterfest” on Thursday, December 5 and at the “Jingle and Mingle” community holiday party and awards ceremony on Wednesday, December 18.

Space fills quickly so call the Whitman County Library at 509-397-4366 or catalina@whitcolib.org if you have questions or want to reserve your spot.
