RACINE — After more than 10 years away, Racine's cherished Festival of Trees returns this weekend, bringing more than 40 decorated trees to Festival Hall and supporting local nonprofits in the process.

The festival was once an integral part of the holiday season in Racine, creating lasting memories for families and community members who participated for nearly two decades.

"A lot of good memories, a lot of fun," said Dan Reisdorf of Milaeger's. "We participated every year. I think it was almost like 20 years that they had the Festival of Trees."

Robert Felle of Felle & Associates remembers the festival's impact on his family.

"My mother-in-law was a huge fan of it," he said. "One of last year's that they held it she actually won two trees that year."
