Tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, at the Red Lion Hotel for the Festival of Trees Teddy Bear Tea and other events that comprise event — The Gala, Family Days Breakfast and Family Days.

“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. Both of these events sell out early,” said OMC Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner.

Now in its 25th 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.
