SPRINGFIELD—There are many signs the Christmas season has arrived—from frost on the windows and snow on the ground, to the Springfield Boys and Girls Club annual Festival of Trees.
This year more than 130 firs and spruces are sprouting in the MassMutual Center—everything from table tops to nine-foot-tall artificial trees.
Organizers expect more than 21,000 people from across New England to walk through the forest of trees lit, decorated and donated to the fundraiser by businesses, families and civic groups.
