Teddy Bear Tea tickets to go on sale Saturday

PORT ANGELES — Tickets for the popular Teddy Bear Teas at the Festival of Trees will go on sale Saturday morning.

The tickets — $12 each or $250 for a VIP table of 10 — will be sold at the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce at 121 E. Railroad Ave. from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The teas, presented by First Federal, are set for 10 a.m. and noon Friday, Nov. 23 at the Vern Burton Community Center at 308 E. Fourth St., in Port Angeles.

Tickets for other events that comprise the Olympic Medical Center Foundation’s annual Festival of Trees — the Gala on Nov. 23, Family Days Breakfast and Family Days, and the Teddy Bear Teas if any tickets remain — will go on sale this coming Wednesday.

They will be available online at teddybeartea.brownpapertickets.com and at www.omhf.org.

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

“If people want to go to either of the Teddy Bear Teas or the Gala … we advise them to get their tickets as early as they can,” said Bruce Skinner, OMC Foundation executive director.

“Last year they sold out quickly,” he said.

Now in its 28th year, the annual event is a three-day fundraiser for the Olympic Medical Center Foundation, which supports Olympic Medical Center with fundraising.

Elaborately decorated Christmas trees and wreaths created by area designers are featured during the event.

They will be auctioned off during the Festival of Trees Gala.

All events will be at the Vern Burton Community Center.
