This is our eighth year of the FEZtival of Trees, and each year seems to compete to be the best ever. The work of the men and women who put it together speaks volumes to their dedication and to their artistic talents. The hundreds of hours that go into the themes, in setup and design are truly amazing.

The sounds of the season, mingled with the lights and tinsel and the excitement of young and old, will again kick off the holidays for Central Maine and beyond.

The Kora FEZtival has become a part of the warp and weave of the holidays for many from near and far, as they make plans to spend part of Thanksgiving week with us, to visit old friends and make new friends. Perhaps a bit of Christmas shopping will be in order in the beautiful dining hall where craft tables show their wares.

On behalf of all of the Nobles and Ladies of Kora Shriners, Lady Connie and I wish you a very happy holiday season and thank you for sharing your festivities with us at Kora Shrine Temple.

Potentate Everett Kaherl and Lady Connie
