Festival of trees organizers spent the late afternoon selecting winners from the 30,000 entries they had for this year's Festival of Trees raffle. With more than 50 trees decorated and adorned with prizes and gifts, it took only a few hours of sales for all of the raffle tickets to be soldout.
Last year, organizers ran out of 20,000 raffle tickets on Saturday at 1 pm. This year, the extra 10,000 tickets lasted 21 minutes longer, with the last booklet of 20 selling at 1:21 Saturday. Wow!
Here is the list of trees and winners. Nice work.
