than a decade the Latino Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Pueblo County
have partnered together during the magical holiday season to bring you the Annual
Festival of Trees! This event is not only a holiday themed After Hours Professional
Mixer, but is also an event you can celebrate Christmas early and give back to non-
profit organizations through the decorated Christmas trees silent auction. The Annual
Festival of Trees is held on the second Thursday in December from 5:00pm - 8:00pm.
This is one of the most festive and unique events of the year!
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Payment of funds in the amount of $1,000 would be paid from the Council
Contingencies Account in the 2024 General Fund Budget to Latino Chamber
Development Foundation.
