Playhouse Plaza

 

Playhouse Plaza includes playhouses, gazebos, dollhouses, children's furniture, backyard decor, and playground equipment. These items are decorated, donated, and displayed in Playhouse Plaza.  They are sold by silent auction on Opening Night of Festival of Trees, November 27, 2012 and throughout Festival week, November 28 - December 1, 2012.  One hundred percent of all funds raised will help children at Primary Children's Medical Center.
