Yesterday I volunteered as a hostess at the Festival of Trees for the fourteenth year. Various individuals and organizations decorate trees, usually to commemorate someone who has been a patient at Primary Children's Hospital, and then donate them. These trees are put up for auction and then displayed at the Mountain Expo Center 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 worthwhile cause. In addition to the trees, there are centerpieces, wreaths, quilts, and and gingerbread houses with lots of crafts and treats for sale (I highly recommend the cinnamon rolls). After I am finished I like to wander around and look at all of the trees. Here are some of my favorites.
This American Red Cross tree was my favorite in my assigned area.
The festival continues at the Mountain America Expo Center through Saturday. Go here for more information and tickets.
