Marathon’s holiday creativity was on full display as the Zonta Festival of Trees returned to Marathon Community Theatre for its second year. From Nov. 30 to Dec. 4, the fundraiser for the Zonta Club of Marathon brought 31 themed trees and six gift baskets to the MCT’s gallery and playhouse for free public viewing. Each tree was eventually raffled off to support Zonta’s efforts throughout the year to empower women and children through service. From a stunning interpretation of a peacock’s plumage to a “tree” made entirely out of fishing rods and gear, and even a bundle that included a brand new air conditioning unit from Florida Keys Air Conditioning, many raffle entrants undoubtedly left happy by the end of the week.
