Once again the North Georgia LEGO® Train Club (NGLTC) will be supporting the
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta by sponsoring a tree at the 27th Annual
Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees, Atlanta’s premier holiday event,
benefits Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Visitors can stroll through 150,000
square feet of decorated trees, wreaths and decorator vignettes created by the
city’s top artists and designers. The Festival also features magnificent
gingerbread houses, an assortment of specialty shops, a special venue of
handmade dollhouses, and an array of children’s activities.

This extraordinary event has become a tradition of Atlanta’s holiday season
while raising much needed money for quality services and facilities for children
at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Last years show had over 80,000 visitors
and this year they are expecting to top 100,000 visitors.

The NGLTC tree will be decorated with LEGO® ornaments built from over 100,000
LEGO elements. The ornaments will be built by local school children and patients
of the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital. The tree will be on display for the
week of December 6th – 14th, 2003 at the Georgia World Congress Center, and will
be available for purchase during the event.

Also this year on Thursday, December 11 (10 a.m.-9 p.m.) there will be "A DAY IN
LEGO LAND" where visitors can turn there kids loose to create their own works of
art to display at the Festival. In LEGO Land they will earn an Official LEGO
Builder License.
