Festival Of Trees Concluding

The Festival of Trees once again drew considerable interest from visitors to Natural Bridge State Park this holiday season. During the festival, the visitor center is filled with creatively decorated trees, each sponsored by local businesses and community groups. Guests can vote for their favorite tree by placing donation items under it or purchasing a ballot from the front counter. The tree with the most ballots and donations by today, Dec. 31, will be named the winner. This year’s donations benefit Rockbridge CAN, Project Horizon and the Natural Bridge/Glasgow Food Pantry.
