The Festival of Trees is such an amazing fundraiser. More than $29.3 million has been raised since 1973. Of that, $1.9 million was raised in 2010 with 95,000 people attending the week long festival. All of the funds raised go to the Primary Children's Hospital.
I'm so proud of my Dad for participating in such a wonderful fundraiser. I'm proud of him for his creative idea and seeing it through till it was finished. I'm proud of my Mom for supporting him through all of this work. A big thank you to all those who helped him along his way and donated items for the tree.
One last thing, the company who bought the tree was Struck Axiom. Dad and I were curious so we looked them up and it all made sense. They are a creative company that thinks outside the box. An especially big thank you to them!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Saw it on Saturday! Looked awesome!
I think it was the only tree, that wasn't actually a tree. :)
That is such a cool and unique tree!! Did you want to make another one for home?
BeemerGirl - I made a suggestion like that, but it was met with a stony silence. In other words, no.
