If you live local and you have not been then you still have three days to make it. We went tonight and it was great. We have been for the last several years and it is always worth it. I will put a plug in and say that all, and I mean A.L.L. proceeds go directly to the children. Every penny you spend there, even the food, goes directly to helping the children. A family pass is $14.00!!
Tonight was the first time my children asked if we could decorate something the following year. I just might have to do that in honor of Jose, my younger brother, next year. I think decorating a 6 ft. tree is a little much for my first time around but I could handle a wreath or gingerbread house, maybe. I may not have a choice since my children were so crazy, ready-to-do-it-right-now when I showed a slight interest in the idea.
Soooooo, go have fun and help someone else out!!
I love the Festival of Trees but alas I have strep and will not make it...we had concerts the other days I was not sick!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute to your brother it would be! One year we made candy trains as a family to donate to the Festival for them to sell and it was a lot of fun! Then we had our Primary do it. A great way for kids to help kids!
