Villages Beautiful | Nov 25, 2016
At the Festival of Trees that’s held each year in early December, there is a lot of money collected, so where does it go? Who get’s it. What do they do with it? Who are they? And well you may ask.
The “they" are volunteers and the "Festival" is the event held each year to earn money to give back again to the community. What’s this? Yes the money goes back to the various villages in the area to buy flowers to make the villages beautiful each year, and the name of the group of volunteers who arrange all this is "Villages Beautifull". The group keeps only enough money over from year to year to fund the next Festival. All of the rest of the money is given out to the volunteers of the villages each year to buy flowers and containers and sometimes trees. The Festival is coming soon.
