The Festival of Trees is an event I look forward to all year because it is so much fun to volunteer and it is such a worthwhile cause since every single penny raised goes to benefit Primary Children's Hospital! Various groups and individuals decorate trees, usually to commemorate someone who is or has been a patient at Primary Children's Hospital, and then donate them. The trees are put up for auction and then displayed at the Mountain America Expo Center for the duration of the festival. In addition to the trees, there are centerpieces, wreaths, quilts, and gingerbread houses on display with lots of activities for kids (even Santa) and treats to purchase (I may or may not have had two cinnamon rolls). This was my fifteenth year volunteering as a hostess and when my shift was over I got to look around. Here are some of my favorite trees.
Wicked was very "popular" at the festival this year.
This was my favorite.
The Festival of Trees runs at the Mountain America Expo Center through December 6. Go here for more information and tickets.
