LEWISTON - The second annual FEZtival of Trees was held at the Kora Shrine Center from Nov. 17 through 24. The event raised more than $15,000 for the Kora Temple Building Fund.

The results of the public balloting of the trees were:

Peoples Choice Award, K and K Excavation of Turner.

Most Beautiful Tree Award, L/A Harley Davidson of Lewiston.

Most Original Tree Award, Margaret Murphy Center for Children of Lewiston.
