Tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, at The Red Lion Hotel for the North Olympic Peninsula Festival of Trees Teddy Bear Tea and Gala.
Tickets for three other events that comprise the event — The Gala, Family Days Breakfast, and Family Days also will be on sale. After Saturday, tickets only will be available at the OMC Foundation office at 1015 Georgiana St.
“If people want to go to either of the Teddy Bear Teas or the Gala, both of which are held on Friday, we advise them to get their tickets as early as they can this Saturday. Often the teas sell out in a little more than an hour,” said OMC Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner.
Now in its 24th year, the annual event is a three-day fundraiser for the Olympic Medical Center Foundation and the Port Angeles Exchange Club. Elaborately decorated Christmas trees and wreaths created by some of the area’s best designers are featured during the event.
