Festival of Trees

When Laurie came over after work, I was in the mood to do something. I didn't want to sit in my house all day and watch football. Problem was, other than go for a walk in the woods, I didn't have any ideas. To my surprise, Laurie came up with an idea for something she wanted to do fairly quickly.

Disney themed tree

She suggested we go to the "Festival of Trees" at the Easton Country Club in Easton, MA. Basically, there are a bunch of Christmas trees decorated, most are themed (such as Disney, Charlie Brown, angels, etc) They are artificial trees. The festival is indoors. The admission is seven dollars. You can buy raffle tickets to win the trees. I think the drawing is December 12. Many of the trees are "decorated" with gift certificates or toys. The tree donated by a gym had gift certificates for Whole foods and for free classes. Not to mention the "ornaments" were jump rope, water bottle and other exercise equipment.

There are about 30-40 trees ( I didn't count). You can check it out by googling the Festival of Trees at the Easton Country Club. The trees will be there a couple more weeks. Since it was indoors in the function room, when we went at 3:30 today (Sunday) it was crowded, but not unbearable. We walked around a couple times and went back to look at Laurie's favorites. It wasn't a bad way to kill an afternoon waiting for the Patriots game
