September 27th 2019
North Battleford, SK - Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation is proud to announce Pattison Agriculture’s $2500 sponsorship towards the 2019 Festival of Trees “O’ Joyous Christmas.” Festival of Trees takes place Friday, November 29th and runs through to Thursday, December 5th at the Western Development Museum and will raise funds to enrich patient care at BUH.
“Pattison Agriculture is a staple in this community and we are very happy to have them as a sponsor for Festival of Trees. This is the seventh year Pattison Ag has helped us create this tradition here in The Battlefords and we are grateful,” said BUH Foundation Executive Director, Claudette McGuire.
Pattison Agriculture has 50 years of experience in agriculture and 19 locations across Saskatchewan. They are dedicated to their community and continue to support locally. Pattison Agriculture is inspired to give back to the communities where their families and customers work, live, and play. Sponsoring such events as Festival of Trees is an excellent way of sharing with the people who support them.
BUH Foundation has held the Festival of Trees for 24 years here in The Battlefords. Pattison Agriculture’s sponsorship will go towards the Preview Evening to be held on Friday, November 29th. This is how the Festival of Trees officially starts. Everyone can come and enjoy hot chocolate, cookies and watch the 20 foot tall tree light up. This is the first opportunity to view and bid on all of the wonderfully decorated trees, wreaths and accent pieces. Preview Evening is a fun and casual evening that the whole family can enjoy.
The Festival of Trees will see its funds raised go towards a HC3 ventilator for the Respiratory Therapy department at BUH.
“Events such as this not only enrich the community by bringing us together, but also help to enrich the client’s health and care at BUH. Having up-to-date equipment does a great deal to ensure that patients are given the best quality of care,” McGuire said. “We are truly thankful for the support of our sponsors.”
Festival of Trees events will also include the Formal Evening “Our People…Our Place” to be held Saturday, November 30th. This will be a celebration of our community with local talent for entertainment. December 1st is Family Day. The day will be full of family fun. There will be horse drawn wagon rides, Santa, crafts and games for everyone. Public viewing is December 2nd-4th and the week will finish off with Christmas High Tea on Thursday, December 5th.
