Christmas In Muskoka at the Armouries Dec 7-9/2011
The former Festival of Trees event which was sponsored by the Lung Association is putting on a new face this year with a new name and a new purpose.The Christmas In Muskoka Fundraiser will take place Dec 7-9/2011 Chair Shawn Moynihan said the event is being held to offset the cost of sending approx. 300 Grade 7 students from Chatham-Kent Catholic Elementary schools and about 100 student leaders from the Ursuline College in Chatham to Muskoka Woods for an Annual Leadership Camp. The cost is $375.00 per student and Mr Moynihan said this is a unique educational opportunity for those who are attending. In the past the schools have done their own fundraising and some students were privately funded. 
The Inauguaral Fundraising Event is being held to offset the costs and participation in the event has been good. Originally the goal was to raise $20-$25,000 but with the support the community has given the goal has been raised to $30,000.00
Several Chatham-Kent Business' have agreed to sponsor events during the three day affair. 30-40 Beautifully Decorated Trees will to be up for raffle and there are several Theme Trees like John Deere, Hot Wheels and Golf. The fundraiser is being held at the Armouries Four Diamond Banquet facility located in Tecumseh 
Park. Tickets are $5.00
