Woman's Club Festival of Trees

Living in a small town has its attributes.  One, being the fund raising meals served by various organizations.   There are a number in Bennington.  The Lions have a rib feed, the Legion a breakfast, The Bennington Foundation a park barbecue and the Fire and Rescue have a pancake feed.   This year the Woman's Club held a "Festival of Trees" which featured Christmas Trees sponsored by various businesses and organisations; a bake sale, "Grandma's Attic" (crafts and nick-nacks), and food.   Funds from the two day event goes to support the local library. 

This year we partnered on a tree with A/Art Glass which is owned and operated by Linda's brother and sister-in-law.  The Oft's Bed and Breakfast tree was decorated with hand crafted fused glass ornaments made in Jan and Morrie's shop.  The ornaments were really popular!



The Tree Decorators: Jan, Linda, CoeLeta and Maureen

We got second prize in the tree contest and had a lot of fun.
