Holiday Magic: A Festival Of Trees

Holiday Magic: A Festival of Trees is a contest for non-profit organizations in western North Carolina. Each organization brings their own tree, either real or artificial, to the grounds of the hospital. The trees are then decorated to express the mission of the non-profit organization. The trees are judged by non-partisan dignitaries in the community and the awards are presented during Christmas festivities on Friday. This is just our way of recognizing the contributions of our local not-for- profit organizations who make our community better every day.  

Park Ridge Hospital would like to issue a special thank you to:

• all 42 non-profit organizations that participated in the event. We appreciate your hard work!
• Fletcher United Methodist Church for their participation in the live nativity drama.
• Our judges: Representative Carolyn Justus, Commissioner Bill Moyer, Sheriff Rick Davis and Art Slagle, Pastoral Care; for taking the time out of their busy schedule to participate in our event.
