Teddy Bear Tea tickets go on sale Saturday

Event is part of OMC Foundation’s Festival of Trees

PORT ANGELES — Tickets will go on sale Saturday for the Olympic Medical Center Foundation’s Teddy Bear Tea.

Tickets will be on sale from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce, 121 E. Railroad Ave.

The Teddy Bear Tea, part of the foundation’s Festival of Trees, is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 29, at 10 a.m. and noon.

Tickets for other events that make up the festival — The Gala, Family Days Breakfast and Family Days — are available online at www.omhf.org.

Tickets can also be purchased by calling 360-417-7144 or by going to the foundation office at 1015 Georgiana St. in Port Angeles.

If any Teddy Bear Tea tickets remain after Saturday’s sale, they will be available online Wednesday, Nov. 6, at tinyurl.com/PDN-TeaTickets.

“If people want to go to either of the Teddy Bear Teas or the Gala, both of which are held on Nov. 29, we advise them to get their tickets as early as they can. Last year they sold out quickly,” said foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner in a press release.

Now in its 29th year, the annual Festival of Trees is a three-day fundraiser for the foundation. Elaborately decorated Christmas trees and wreaths created by area designers are featured during the event.
