The Fantasy of Trees is a Rotary Club of Grimsby annual fundraiser and is expected to raise $15,000 or more this year through silent auction and lottery proceeds. There were 40 decorated trees in the raffle with another 60 items in the raffle and silent auction. The event ran from November 24th to December 10th this year. Pictured here is Assistant Governor Margaret Andrewes purchasing the first raffle tickets from Clarence McCloskey at a sponsor reception on December 9th. President Jim Howden looks on.
Everything was donated by the local community. The admission was free. Now in its 18th year the event continues to grow and evolve and is now a Christmas tradition for many in the West Niagara area and beyond.
