This year’s “Festival of Trees” at the Main Branch Library in Palm Coast will have a centennial flair to honor the founding families of Flagler County for its 100th anniversary. The festival began at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1, and the trees will remain on display through December.
“This is an annual tradition sponsored by both the Library and the Friends of the Library,” said Flagler County Library Director Holly Albanese in a press release. “We feature many trees that are decorated by local non-profit organizations. We will have a special Centennial Tree this year so that any of Flagler County’s founding families can place an ornament on the tree to represent their family.”
County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin provided musical entertainment at the beginning of Friday’s kick-off event while the Centennial Committee recapped the events that added sparkle to the yearlong celebration of Flagler County’s history.
