## About

Virgin Valley High School's FFA chapter holds its annual Tree Gala in Mesquite, this year on a Nutcracker theme. Local businesses donate and decorate Christmas trees in their own style, and the trees are displayed and auctioned at the Holiday Inn Resort's Red Barn over four days, with vendors selling alongside. The gala is open to the public, and all auction proceeds support Virgin Valley FFA student programs and activities. Families can walk through the decorated trees, look for favorite Nutcracker characters and support the students. Daily hours are not spelled out beyond the calendar entry.
