Only two days left to see the display of beautifully decorated trees and baskets, shop for all your holiday gifts, and enter drawings all to support the UConn Health Auxiliary.
The Festival of Tress and Winter Faire, held on the Main Level, University Tower, features a sparking display of beautifully decorated trees donated by Auxiliary members, UConn Health faculty, staff, and students. Every tree will go home with a lucky winner in our Festival of Trees and Winter Faire drawing. Tickets are $10 - trees are valued up to $200. Winners will be announced on Friday, December 1, at 3 p.m.
