Seeing all of the beautifully decorated Christmas trees is one of the things Regina Byrne is excited about this year’s Festival of Trees event.
Celebrity decorators will have their trees on display along side professional decorators from throughout the area to make this year’s Festival of Trees event spectacular.
Byrne, co-chair for this year’s Festival of Trees event, said there are a few changes this year, including a new location and extended viewing time. There will also be a lot of fun events scheduled throughout the week to make this year’s event a little different.
The Schedule of Events
• The first “official” night of Festival of Trees there will be a special holiday party and auction, with wonderful cuisine and beverages provided by Starkville’s finest restaurants and caterers. This event will require advance reservations. Tickets can be purchased by e-mailing
