Setting up for Festival of Trees
Valerie Gangas, left, and Kristi Polonsky set up a tree as part of the Festival of Trees fundraiser at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center. The fundraiser runs two days this week, Friday, November 25 (10 a.m.-8 p.m.) and Saturday, November 26 (9 a.m.-3 p.m.). Proceeds from the family-themed event support Little Superheroes, an organization offering help and hope to children facing serious health issues. Polonsky said she has helped with the event since its founding, and this year her family is a recipient of one of its grants, since her 12-year-old son Jack was diagnosed with Stage 3 lymphoma in May.
