Crowds Gather at OFTC’s 16th Annual Festival of Trees Sip N’ See
Christmas melodies fill the air, decorated Christmas trees as far as one can see, and cups of hot chocolate being poured while friends and family gather to partake in holiday cheer.
This was the sight at Oconee Fall Line Technical College’s (OFTC) 16th annual Festival of Trees Sip ‘N See, Thursday, December 2 at the College’s Dubose Porter Center in Dublin.
The College hosts the Festival of Trees every year and displays Christmas trees sponsored by local businesses and organizations, each one often decorated to represent its sponsor. The special Sip ‘N See event is after hours and allows the community a time to come together and view the trees in a festive, holiday setting.
Viewers also have an opportunity to vote on their fan-favorite tree which will be announced on December 10th. The winning tree will have a special ‘Fan Favorite’ ornament displayed on its branches for the remainder of this year’s viewing.
The Festival of Trees in Dublin will continue through December 22 and is open for public viewing Monday – Thursday, 8 AM – 5 PM. For more info or to learn how to sponsor a tree next year, contact Shalesta Hendrix or visit the College’s website, OFTC.edu.
