The Moose Jaw Health Foundation's annual Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital moved online for the pandemic, so this year's return to in-person mingling at the Moose Jaw Events Centre needed to be big.
Led by Moose Jaw Health Foundation (MJHF) Executive Director Kelly McElree and Festival of Trees committee Chairperson Holly Jorstad, that goal seems to have been accomplished.
The Festival of Trees took place on Nov. 26.
The holiday decorations were spectacular, and the local businesses and organizations who sponsor the trees went all out.
Top Chef Canada Dale McKay produced the night's menu with the help of the Events Centre staff.
The night's grand auction featured vacations and experiences, one-of-a-kind art pieces, and celebrity donations.
Saskatchewan band Rock Candy were the entertainment, getting guests up on the dance floor.
The evening's total of funds raised for laboratory and surgery equipment at the Moose Jaw hospital was $173,000.
