PHOTOS: Festival of Trees dazzles in Ontario

Shoppers looking for decor items or just a little inspiration had plenty to look Nov. 21-23 in Ontario.

The occasion was the annual Festival of Trees, held at Four Rivers Cultural Center. The event raises money for Help Them to Hope and Meals on Wheels. In addition to corridors of elaborately decorated trees and wreaths, the festival features music, children’s activities and photos with Santa Claus.

Enterprise staffer Katelynn Millan captured some of the glittering scene.
