Wow, what an experience my first festival of trees was!! My Girl Scout troop decided to donate a tree for the festival of trees this year. The trees are auctioned off and all proceeds go to Primary Children's Hospital. They usually raise about 1 million dollars! My co-leader had done 2 trees previously for the festival in earlier years and was definitly the person to make it all happen! We decide to do a candyland themed tree. We got generous donations from families in our troop and ended up spending $450 on our finished tree (this is what they start the bidding at). Our tree ended up being sold to a nursing bra company called "Undercover Mama" for $950! It was all very exciting and a great experience overall!
