An Enchanted Festival
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: November 2024
The Cashiers Festival of Trees is a singularly Plateau-y introduction to the Holiday Season – Friday and Saturday, November 29-30 at The Summit Center.
The Summit Charter School Foundation is once again holding their Cashiers Festival of Trees fundraiser on Thanksgiving weekend, Friday, November 29, and Saturday, November 30, from 10:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. at the Summit Center at 370 Mitten Lane.
The Festival of Trees is a family-friendly event during Thanksgiving weekend featuring decorated trees, wreaths, gift baskets, holiday shopping, children crafts, story time, rivalry weekend football viewings, entertaining performances, an O.P. Taylor’s Teddy Bear Workshop, and Festival: After Dark – an enchanting nighttime party where participants will enjoy jubilant lights, music, and libations.
This is the perfect place to find the inspiration and decorations you need to transform your home into a winter wonderland for the Christmas season.
Nothing gets you into the holiday spirit like viewing and bidding on more than 100 Christmas trees, wreaths, and holiday baskets imaginatively decorated and donated by area businesses and nonprofits. What a delight to see such creativity on display and have a chance to bid on and take home a fully decorated tree of your own. Mark that tree trimming to-do chore off your list if you’re a lucky winner!
While raising vital funds for the school is the primary focus of the event, the SCS Foundation spreads the holiday spirit of giving: when a fellow nonprofit decorates a tree or wreath, 80 percent of the item’s sale will go back to the participating nonprofit, creating a collaborative initiative to benefit fellow charities and their worthy causes. Cashiers Valley Real Estate is the Presenting Sponsor of the event.
The festival is essential to Summit’s mission of engaging students in learning experiences that stimulate discovery, inspire excellence, and nurture a positive influence in an ever-changing world.
Talented educators and engaged parents partner together to create an exceptional educational environment in which the Kindergarten through grade 12 students are able to develop a level of confidence that invokes success, self-worth, and the opportunity to thrive in all endeavors. The Summit educational experience develops students to graduate academically prepared, engaged in the community, and strong in character.
