Festival of Trees!!

 
First time ever checking out this local event that raises money for the Primary Children's Medical Center. Over 700 decorated Christmas trees, plus gingerbread houses, quilts, wreathes, oh my!

Get ready for a picture overload! Quality of the pictures is just my cell phone so some are not the best.

It was super crowded maybe because the next day (Saturday) was the last day.

Those are so cool! Do people bid on the trees?

Yes! People bid on the trees but I am not sure when as most said "sold" when we got there. Quite a few went for over $1000+!
