Volunteers work to make Festival of the Trees event a community success

Festival of the Trees committee members from left are (front row) Mary White, Bev Upshur and Liz Allen; (next row) Paul Sciacchitano, Becky Foster, Margie Redlin, chairman Karen Sciacchitano and Mark Favazza. Robin Blake, Megan Stephens and Pete Stephens also serve on the committee.
