(THE MED CITY BEAT) - There's no better indication that the holiday season is upon us than the start of the Hiawatha Homes Foundation’s Festival of Trees.

A week-long series of events begins Tuesday night with an opening gala. Then through Sunday, the public will be invited to take a look at the decorated trees.

All tickets are less than $5 per person (gala not included). Proceeds help Hiawatha Homes in providing quality support services to people with disabilities at home and in the community.
