LEWISTON - If you aren't yet in the holiday spirit, here is the perfect boost.

The 25th annual Festival of Trees kicked off Wednesday at the Nez Perce County Fairgrounds.

The festival is a fundraiser for Tri-State Memorial Hospital.

Volunteers were trimming the trees and completing the decorations Wednesday afternoon, preparing for the Memorial Tree of Lights, a ceremony to remember and honor loved ones who have passed away.

Events take place from Wednesday through Saturday. You can check out over a dozen trees with different themes. There is even a Harley Davidson themed tree and a Twilight-New Moon Tree.
