Kelly Knobeck: ‘There’s so much joy in it’
The holiday season of 2024 was the first for the Bottled Bean’s “Festival of Trees.” The business, owned by Kelly and Tyler Knobeck, opened in early September, 2023, and Kelly Knobeck told The Lakeland Times the “Festival of Trees” will be an annual event with the intent “that focuses on promoting and connecting our local businesses and non-profits through some friendly Christmas competition. The goal was to connect all these and have a really fun, festive season.”
