Last night I was a hostess at the Festival of Trees for the eleventh year in a row. Various individuals and organizations decorate and then donate trees, usually to commemorate someone who has been ill or died. These trees are put up for auction and then displayed for the public to view for the duration of the festival. All of the proceeds go directly to Primary Children's Hospital so it is a really good cause. In addition to the trees, there are centerpieces, wreaths, and gingerbread houses on display as well as lots of treats for purchase so it is a fun night out as well as a good cause. After my shift is over, I like to walk around and look at all of the trees. Here are some of my favorites.
The festival will continue at the Mountain America Expo Center through Saturday. Go here for information and tickets.
