“Festival of Trees is an honor to be a part of, a shining example of community spirit and generosity. This captivating event supports a vital mission, enriching the lives of families through the Boys & Girls Club’s invaluable programs,” said Jenny Ketchepaw, who is serving as the event chair for the third year alongside her husband Tim. “As a parent, I have seen the Club’s profound impact on my children, inspiring my husband and me to continue to give back. Participating in the Festival of Trees is a thrilling experience that celebrates creativity, talent, and the collective effort to make a real difference.”

Under the leadership of the Ketchepaws, this year’s Festival of Trees promises to once again be a memorable and festive holiday experience for the local community and beyond.
