The holiday season sparkled with creativity as the 41st AHN Saint Vincent Festival of Trees brought together families, businesses, and local organizations for one of Erie’s most cherished traditions. The event featured dozens of beautifully decorated trees, festive activities, and a strong sense of community — all in support of AHN Saint Vincent Hospital.
After days of voting and admiration, the winners of this year’s People’s Choice Awards have been announced.
In 1st Place is the Pink Polar Club tree featuring polar bears and pink decorations. The sponsor of the tree was the Westminster Group Companies and was decorated by Tammy Lopez.
The 2nd Place tree was the Merry Go Zoo, sponsored and decorated by the Erie Zoo. This tree was transformed into a Merry Go Round with many animals that reside in the zoo.
In 3rd Place was the There’s No Place Like Home Tree, that was sponsored by a supporter of Because You Care and had been decorated by Liz Gutting.
The Festival of Trees continues to be a beloved holiday tradition, showcasing the talent and generosity of the Erie community while raising funds to support vital healthcare programs at AHN Saint Vincent.
