The holiday season is upon us and the Butler County Chapter NSDAR has a variety of activities to make it more festive. The 10th annual Festival of Trees opens to the public on Saturday, December 2 at 10 AM in their new location, the Butler County Community Development Center #4, the old mall building. The festival will run from December 2-9, from 10-5 each day except Sunday from 1-5 with trees and wreaths on display from local businesses, family memorials, churches and community organizations. On Thursday, December 7, they will have a special guest, Santa Claus will be there from 4:00 until 7:00 with door prizes given throughout the evening.

Another DAR activity is the Christmas Home Tour on Sunday December 3 from 1:-4:00 pm, featuring the home of Matthew and Kathy Hampton in the Logansport community, where they farm growing corn and soybeans and raising cattle. Their home was built about 80 years ago and was owned by Pascal and Vera Dabbs. Matthew remembers visiting the Dabbs couple and sharing birthday cake when he was young. Their home is furnished with a variety of antiques which they have collected, including many old advertisement signs. The Hampton home will be a delight to visit as you enjoy Christmas in the Country at 7138 Logansport Road.
The fee for Festival of Trees and Home Tour is $2.00, with children under 10 free. All funds raised go to student, community and Veteran events sponsored by the Butler County Chapter NSDAR.
