Festival of Trees Could Win You a Big Haul for the Holidays

A unique raffle in Carpinteria could get you an entire Christmas tree and every present underneath it.

They are all different.

The Lions Club Festival of Trees takes place from now until Saturday – every day until 8 p.m. at 700 Linden Avenue.

26 local businesses and organizations have decorated the trees and provided a haul of gifts for each one.

They include bikes, camping gear, dining out certificates, glassware, a flat screen TV and one is covered in cash!

Raffle tickets are a dollar each.

You can pick a favorite tree or several of them, then drop a ticket in the box nearby.

If it’s drawn Sunday you get the tree and all the gifts.

The funds this year will help refurbish the Carpinteria High girls softball field.
