One of Lawrence’s prettiest fundraisers will soon return. The Festival of Trees, a fundraiser for O’Connell Children’s Shelter, will kick off public viewing hours on Friday.
Residential workers with O’Connell Children’s Shelter have filed for a union election, citing concerns of administrative bloat, inadequate pay and feeling a lack of support.
The Festival of Trees has a new location and new nightlife events this year, and its staple — a display of donated trees, wreaths and more with unique designs and themes — is ready for viewing hours, beginning Friday.
