A used car dealership in Winston-Salem, Frank Myers Auto Maxx, has teamed up with Brenner Children's Hospital to be a supporter of The 2009 Festival of Trees. Organizers of the popular festival are also excited to announce Furnitureland South as the one of the event’s Sponsors.The Festival of Trees began in 1988 as a modest display in three local malls. It has grown to become a holiday extravaganza that has raised over $1 million to improve healthcare in our community--proving that the Brenner Children's Hospital Festival of Trees is more than just the hottest holiday ticket in town; it is a celebration of what can happen when people work together for a greater good. Visitors stroll through a winter village full of 40 decorated trees, magnificent gingerbread houses, an assortment of specialty shops, and an array of children's activities. There are celebrity ornaments and gingerbread houses sold through silent auction and wreaths and mini-trees to purchase. The main stage features continuous live entertainment and attracts people of all ages.
“It warms my heart for my dealership (http://www.frankmyersauto.com/) to participate in such a fantastic event. My employees and I are also happy to see so many businesses and people who want to be a part of the Festival of Trees,” says Tracy Myers, the owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx. “My family and our family of businesses have been a part of the Triad area for more than 82 years. It makes us feel good to give back to a community that has given us so much over the years”.
