NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A plethora of
beautifully decorated Christmas trees that benefit local charities are on
display at the "Hall of Trees" located in Nashville’s famous Gaylord
Opryland Resort in the Ryman B Exhibit Hall.
The sixth annual "Hall of Trees" hosts more
than 30 decorated Christmas trees that represent different Middle Tennessee
charities. The trees also come with gifts such as electronics, restaurant gift
cards, airline tickets, and vacations, which are donated by sponsors. Each tree
is auctioned off to the highest bidder, and all the money raised from the
auction goes directly back to the tree’s specific charity.
“Guests
will be inspired by the trees that are on display this year," said Media
Manager Kathryn Good. "The 'Hall of Trees' is recognized as the place to
create meaningful holiday memories. This is a great way for families to enjoy
the Christmas season and give back to their community at the same time.”
The "Hall of Trees" is celebrating its sixth
year as a part of the famous Gaylord Opryland Resort’s "A Country
Christmas". “A Country Christmas” includes many holiday events and
activities like “ICE!”, “The Radio City Christmas Spectacular”, “Lorrie
Morgan's Enchanted Christmas Dinner & Show”, and of course the beautiful “Christmas Lights”.
“It is almost overwhelming how big
it is, and how many lights there are," said repeat visitor Tyler Jerrett.
"I am always impressed every year at how organized it is, too. They
definitely do a great job of making me feel the Christmas spirit.”
Hours of operation, ticket prices,
