There's nothing like a tree festival to put you in the Christmas spirit. Here are just a few to visit during November.
In Dover, the Warther Museum is a forest of beautifully decorated Christmas trees nestled amid Ernest "Mooney" Warther's famous train carvings, handmade in ebony, ivory and walnut. Each uniquely themed tree is for sale with proceeds going to benefit the Union Hospital Auxiliary. This tree festival takes place November 14-22, 2009 at Warther's Carvings & Gardens, 321 Karl Ave., in Dover, Ohio. For more information call 330-339-5089 or visit www.warthers.com.
Celebrate a turn-of-the-century Christmas at the J.E. Reeves Victorian Home, also in Dover. This year the home is decorated to the music of Christmas Carols and Hymns. Guests enter to the sound of Deck the Halls and then listen to the sights and sounds of their favorite Christmas music as they tour the mansion.
Christmas walk-through tours begin November 11, and run through November 22, from 1 to 7 p.m. daily. The tours are designed for members and frequent visitors who would just like to stop in and see the decorations. Walk-through tours are free to members of the Dover Historical Society and $6 for non members.
Regular guided tours begin November 23, and run through December 22. These tours run from 1 to 7 p.m. daily and admission is $7 for adults and $3 for children. Musical entertainment will take place on Sunday afternoons during the holiday season.
The Dover Historical Society will host its annual Christmas Open House at the Reeves Home on Saturday, November 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. The event will feature a performance by the Dover First Moravian Church Choir in the Ballroom of the beautiful home, and guests will enjoy the season's favorite music.
Santa Claus will be in the Carriage House to meet and greet the kids and Matt Lautzenheiser will sign copies of his new book Dover, which will be on sale in the Museum's Gift Shop. For more information call 330-343-7040.
In Summit County the 2009 Akron Children's Hospital Holiday Tree Festival will take place November 21 through 29, at the John S. Knight Convention Center in Downtown Akron. Visitors will see majestically decorated trees, wreaths and other festive holiday decorations, all while enjoying a variety of musical performances.
The festival is a tradition for hundreds of area families, with multi-generations volunteering to assist with the event. A Preview Party on Friday, November 20, will honor President Bill Considine's 30th anniversary with Akron Children's Hospital.
The 28th annual Tree Festival is free and open to the public. Proceeds from sale of the trees benefit Akron Children's Hospital. For additional information call 330-543-8340.
