FAYETTEVILLE — In the little town of Fayetteville, you would think you would know where everything is and the highlights to see and do. Tucked away on the back side of the town square sits a small hall that is mostly used to cook in and hold little auctions come festival time.

However, as the Christmas season kicks into full gear, this small hall is transformed into a beautiful Christmas tree paradise.

Founder Janice Wasut, of Fayetteville, watched a Christmas movie several years ago that inspired her with this vision, and what started with just a few Christmas trees competing for best tree, has grown into a delightful Christmas experience with 39 trees tucked into the small building behind the town hall. Co-founder Debra Glaze, of Fayetteville, shares in that vision.
