The fantasy of Trees exhibit concluded today, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m. The event was able to raise over $400,000 for the East Tennessee Children's Hospital.

The exhibit brought around 61,000 visitors in to see the trees and decorations.

The event allowed guests to travel through a forest of more than 350 custom-designed trees, holiday accessories, front porch scenes, door designs and table centerpieces.

The proceeds from Fantasy of Trees benefited East Tennessee Children's Hospital, Knoxville's only not-for-profit Comprehensive Regional Pediatric Center.

In 34 years, the Fantasy of Trees has raised more than $8.5 million to provide much-needed medical equipment for children served by East Tennessee Children's Hospital. Since the first Fantasy of Trees in 1985 that welcomed 13,125 visitors, Knoxville's annual festival of trees has hosted well over one million people.
