‘Holiday Tour of Trees’ Winner Announced & Sponsors Thanked

The competition during the “Holiday Tour of Trees” to benefit Twin County Hospice heated up when one local business arrived at the December 12^th event.

Shear Perfection Salon had decorated a holiday tree in memory of Allen Burcham. They collected donations, a dollar per vote, from their family, friends and patrons for this worthy cause. When they arrived at the event and all the tallies were in, they had raised more than the other 20 holiday tree sponsors taking the “2009 Toast of the Tour” title.

The “Holiday Tour of Trees” is quickly becoming a community favorite with friendly competition between holiday tree sponsors, a fun-filled family holiday event and the joy of helping others.

Over $1,300 was raised at the “Holiday Tour of Trees” to benefit Twin County Hospice patients in need.
