25th Annual Feztival of Trees
Celebrating a Quarter-Century of Magic:
Thank You to Our Volunteers!
As we close the chapter on our 25th Annual Feztival of Trees, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to every volunteer who helped make this milestone year such a tremendous success. For a quarter of a century, the Feztival has brought joy, community spirit, and holiday magic to families across New Hampshire—and none of it would be possible without the dedication of our Bektash Shriners family, friends, and supporters.
This year’s Feztival was more than an anniversary; it was a true celebration of teamwork. From those who planned and decorated, to those who greeted guests, sold tickets, coordinated trees, assisted vendors, handled logistics, baked treats, provided entertainment, or worked behind the scenes—you each played an essential role. Every smile you shared and every hour you donated helped create an event that touched thousands of visitors.
Our volunteers are the heart and hands of this tradition. Your commitment reflects the best of what Shriners stand for: fellowship, service, and the desire to make a positive difference in our community. The success of this 25th Annual Feztival of Trees belongs to you.
To everyone who helped—whether it was your first year or your twenty-fifth—thank you. Your energy, creativity, and generosity continue to make the Feztival of Trees a beloved New Hampshire holiday event and an important fundraiser for the work we do at Bektash Shrine Center.
Here’s to another wonderful year, and to the dedicated volunteers who make the magic happen.
A special thank you to Lady Emelie and her tremendous work with our volunteers. Thank you for your exceptional dedication and leadership throughout this year’s Bektash Fez-Tival of Trees. Your steady support, warm encouragement, and remarkable coordination with our volunteers made an enormous impact on the success of our event.
Your ability to bring people together—making every volunteer feel welcomed, appreciated, and inspired—truly elevates the spirit of the Fez-Tival. We could not do what we do without your heart, commitment, and unfailing willingness to help wherever needed.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Brett Hunter, Feztival of Trees Chairman
