Festival of Trees

l to r: Kim, Sharon, Julie, B, Susan & Sheri

Tonight I went out to help with the festival of trees.

The man that created this tree, Tom, was at the festival tonight and I was able to meet him. He has a speech impediment so his wife was doing most of the talking for him but he did tell me that he didn't create this tree, God did and he was just an instrument in his hands.

I was stationed at this tree for the entire evening and it was a popular tree. It sold for $26,000 dollars and it had the highest selling price for this years festival.

Glass Tidings & Joy was the name of the tree and it was all hand blown glass, with lights and music synchronized as well.
