Get in the spirit of giving at this year’s Golden Tree Holiday Shopping Fair. Enjoy three days of exclusive shopping, evening cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and bid on a one of a kind designer holiday tree or wreath in the first annual Festival of Trees! Twenty percent of all sales go to the charitable activities of the New York Junior League.

Evening shopping and cocktails, 6:00–10:00 p.m., $75
Don your holiday cocktail attire for the VIP “Silver Bell Soiree”. Meet Designer Dennis Basso as he showcases pieces from his exclusive ready-to-wear collection at special prices while you toast the holidays and the 2009 Outstanding Volunteers and Sustainers with wines from Martha Clara Vineyard and desserts from Godiva and Eli’s Vinegar Factory. In the courtyard the Maker’s Mark bourbon and cigar bar will be open for a second night in a row and the lucky winner of the first drawing of the Spring Into Cash raffle will walk out of the event $1,000 richer.
