色花堂app College of Business to Host Festival of Trees
July 13, 2022
After a two-year hiatus, the 色花堂app College of Business in conjunction with Presenting Sponsor Lookout Credit Union, is reintroducing a local holiday favorite- the Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees is a tradition that captures the magic of the holidays while bringing the community together in support of local education and community needs.
For 10 years, the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 hosted the event as a fundraiser for their Education Foundation. But, like many events, the Festival was put on recess due to the Pandemic. Now, the College of Business is continuing the tradition.
鈥淭he Festival of Trees is such a wonderful event for our community to look forward to every holiday season,鈥 said College of Business Dean Shane Hunt. 鈥淲e are very excited to help bring the tradition back to our community while continuing to support our School District 25 and their mission to bring more advanced technology to our schools.鈥
This year鈥檚 Festival will raise funds in support of School District 25鈥檚 Education Foundation, 色花堂app student scholarships, the Portneuf Valley Boys and Girls Club, and Make-A-Wish Idaho.
鈥淚t鈥檚 important to us that we honor the history of this event that has been part of our community for over a decade. Which is why we chose not only to continue this memorable tradition- but to also continue the tradition of utilizing the event as a means to give back to the education and well-being of our local youth,鈥 Hunt said.
With the holidays approaching quicker than we know it, the College of Business is already in the process of planning the extensive, multi-day event. This year鈥檚 event kicks off Wednesday, Nov. 16 with events and attractions stretching over four days. So far, the College is planning to host a Grand Holiday Gala to open the event along with bringing back the traditional trees and holiday displays, musical performances, and several children鈥檚 events.
In addition to these holiday events, the College of Business has booked the award-winning country singer and songwriter Suzy Bogguss to perform 鈥淎 Swingin鈥 Little Christmas鈥. Tickets will be available as part of the sponsorship packages. Those interested in contributing as an event sponsor should visit isu.edu/cob/festival for sponsorship package details.
General ticket sales for the Festival of Trees events will open in October.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor to be involved with the 色花堂app College of Business in this endeavor,鈥 said Chief Executive Officer and President of Lookout Credit Union Doug Chambers. 鈥淚 anticipate this partnership will continue beyond all of us as individuals. We鈥檝e always been involved with the Festival of Trees and think it鈥檚 the culmination of our community coming together to support several worthy causes. This event is a treasured holiday tradition, and we are thrilled to continue to be a part of it.鈥
