ST. PETE BEACH, Florida, December 11, 2018 – The Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce celebrated a successful Small Business Saturday and intro into the holiday season by holding their first ever Festival of Trees. The event took place on November 24th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the St. Pete Beach Community Center, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit Tampa Bay Watch.
Nearly 30 members of the chamber and beach community (listed below) donated their time and decorated a tree for the event by using gift certificates to their businesses, holiday treats, and traditional ornaments. Vendors Painted Creations by Brenda Griffin, Painted Bottles by Linda, Kahwa Coffee, and The Donut Experiment delighted all with perfect treats and presents for the season.
