21st Annual Festival of Trees 
Hands On! Regional Museum opened its doors to a sell out crowd for the 21st Annual Festival of Trees Night of Lights Gala on Friday, November 20th. As the Museum’s largest annual fundraiser, the Gala raised $55,000.00 that will help support educational programming and exhibits that were enjoyed by over 81,000 visitors last year.
Gala emcee Josh Smith, of WJHL NewsChannel 11, welcomed guests and introduced auctioneer Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey. Attendees bid on a variety of items during the silent and live auctions, were entertained with songs by "Hall & Bowie," enjoyed dinner catered by Main Street Catering, and danced the night away to music performed by The MJ Becks Band.
