Santa may be tempted to take a new Corvette for a spin Thurs., Dec.7 when the Rossi family hosts the 8th annual Festival of Trees in the Rossi Chevrolet Buick GMC showroom at 360 Route 31 South from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.

This holiday-inspired reception, held for the benefit of Abilities of Northwest Jersey, Inc. and The Arc of Warren County, showcases 60 freshly-cut and beautifully-decorated Christmas trees that will transform the showroom into a living holiday panorama, and also offers gourmet hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, holiday music, and a beautiful array of desserts and coffee. Guests will enjoy viewing and voting for their favorite decorated trees, all of which are sponsored by local business owners and other friends in the community.

“It is a true pleasure and honor to again work with Abilities of Northwest Jersey, Inc. and The Arc of Warren County for our eighth Festival of Trees,” said Patti Sue Rossi. “The broad community support we have received in the past has been a great way to honor these two organizations and bring so many community members together to celebrate the holiday season.”

Tickets for the event are $50 per person and include hors d’oeuvres and beverages. Special sponsorship packages and ticket information may be obtained at: rossifestivaloftrees.com or by calling 908-689-0224. Follow the event on Facebook at: Festival of Trees – Rossi.

“This is a joyous holiday event that has grown in popularity and scope since we first began in 2010,” Ms. Rossi continued. “Our associates look forward to it each year almost as much as our guests, many of whom bring their office staff and friends for a Christmas get-together in a beautiful and unique holiday setting.”

Abilities of Northwest Jersey, Inc. provides a full array of day and community employment support services to adults with disabilities in Warren County. The Arc provides lifelong service and support to this population with services that include residential, recreation, employment, family support, early intervention, and a wide range of social service and advocacy programs.
