The link hosted its second annual Festival of Trees, in partnership with To The Moon Party Designs, on Nov. 22.

The event featured holiday trees decorated and sponsored by various local businesses and organizations. These businesses and organizations included Compass Real Estate, Zany Du & SJC Silent Book Club, New Beauty Company Aesthetics, Unlockt, Ponte Vedra King of Pops, Chomic Combat Karate and Care On Call Pediatrics.
