Festival of Trees raffle tickets are available

POLSON — The Lake County Youth Home Festival of Trees will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, December 5 at the KwaTaqNuk Best Western Resort in Polson. The Festival will feature a reception to view the trees, a dinner and a live and silent auction of the trees, wreaths, and many other items. The auction will be followed by a dance to the music of the award winning Wilbur Rehmann Jazz Quartet. The quartet will also play during the opening reception and dinner.

One of the most popular events at Festival of Trees is the raffle drawing for the tree donated by Glacier Bank. It will be given away at the Festival, but you don't have to be present to win. In fact, the winning ticket includes free delivery on Sunday, December 6. The raffle tree is valued at over $500! You can see it up close and personal all during November at Glacier Bank. $2 raffle tickets can be purchased at Glacier Bank. $5 will get you three chances to win. Tickets will be available from now until the raffle is held on Saturday, December 5.

Last year's successful 10th Annual Festival of Trees saved the day this past summer when the Youth Home's drain field stopped working without warning and some of the projects that were planned for this year were able to be sidelined in favor of a project that could not wait. It made the pressure of a big project a little lighter.

The Lake County Youth Home is located in a rural setting two miles southeast of Ronan. The Home is patterned after a family model and 619 kids who needed time out from a stressful family situation have called it home over the past 37 years. The Festival of Trees is a great partner in providing these services to area youth.

The $50 tickets are limited to 230 people and are usually sold out within 48 hours of going on sale the last week of October. There is a waiting list for tickets in case of last minute cancellations. (406) 883-7264 will reach the Lake County Youth Court where you can get on the waiting list.
