Dear Festival Designer,

Thank you for your interest in being a designer for The Baby Fold’s Festival of Trees 2016! We are looking forward to making this year’s Festival of Trees better than ever!

This year’s theme for The Baby Fold’s Festival of Trees is ‘A Gift of Love.’ We will be returning to the Interstate Center in Bloomington, IL, from November 18 – 20. Please remember, the most important reason for the Festival of Trees is to support the children and families served by The Baby Fold, and your involvement is greatly appreciated. This year we are celebrating our 23rd year of the Festival of Trees!

Designers will receive the following complementary tickets:

·  7’ Trees - 6 general admission tickets

·  4’ Trees and Tables - 3 general admission tickets

·  Wreaths, Mantel Pieces, Centerpieces, Stockings and Other - 2 general admission tickets

This year, we will have a limit of 6 complementary tickets total received by a designer or group. Each designer will also receive a blue Designer Ribbon that will allow unlimited general entry to the Festival for that designer for the duration of the Festival of Trees.

Prize ribbons will be awarded in the following categories:

·  Trees - Best Christmas Story, Most Elegant Tree, and Chairman’s Choice

·  Tables - Best Table and Chairman’s Choice

·  Wreaths, Centerpieces, and Other - Chairman’s Choice, Best Wreath, Best Centerpiece, and Best Other

Two ribbons will be placed with the winning items; one ribbon will stay with the item and will be given to the buyer of the item and the second ribbon will be given to the designer of the item.
