The annual Festival of Trees will soon festoon the Catoosa Public Library with an array of Christmas trees.
As they have for nearly a decade, school and civic groups, businesses and organizations, clubs and individuals are celebrating the season by installing and decorating trees inside the library.
“Artificial trees, 10 foot or smaller, some with lights, will be placed throughout the library,” said Karol Radovich, Children’s Services coordinator for the library. “Some will be on tabletops, some will be out in the open.”
Trees will be trimmed by Friends of the Library, Northwest Georgia Bank, the DAR Chief John Ross Chapter, Turning Point Tutoring, 4-H, Master Gardeners, Hutcheson Hospice, a Girl Scout troop, school groups, The Chattanooga Airport Authority and others, she said.
