AKRON, Ohio — They've decked the halls at the John S. Knight Center in Akron as the Holiday Tree Festival fundraising event returns for another year.
The popular tradition – which runs from Nov. 11-19 – features hundreds of decorated Christmas trees, wreaths and other decorations, which can all be purchased to benefit Akron Children’s Hospital.
