The Details

FARGO — Christmas has come early to the Fargodome.

Fraser's 26th annual Festival of Trees is filling the lobby with decorated Christmas trees through Dec. 4.

Local businesses, organizations and families decked out the trees, so there's a little friendly competition for a favorite.

Once the festival wraps up, the trees will go home with families who might otherwise go without one. And yes, they keep everything on the tree, including some toys and candy left on the trees.

Fraser says more than 3,600 families have received a tree over the past 25 years.

The festival also raises money for programs that help children, teens and adults live more independently.

Residents can also drop off hygiene items at the Art of Humanity Tree in the lobby for their own drive.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at the Fargodome on Friday, Nov. 27, with photos until 4 p.m.
