Our 14th annual Festival of Trees is now in the past. The Gala and Silent Auction was held on Friday, December 8th from 5:30 to 8:30 PM when a variety of full-sized Christmas trees, wreaths, centerpieces and table-top trees were auctioned off along with a selection of Santa Pack items.
Proceeds from this year's Festival will fund an Education Program for grades K-12 at Kilchis Point Reserve.
The Festival opened for viewing on Saturday, December 2 and was be open to the public until 3:00 PM on December 8th when the Museum will close to set up for the party. We were also opened late until 7 PM on Wednesday, December 6 for visiting after work.
Wine was being provided this year by the Blue Heron French Cheese Factory. A selection of hors d'oeuvres - including special treats brought directly from Italy - will be provided by Twins Ranch Catering.
We thank our Festival of Trees Committee ~ Peggy Landau, Kathy Lou Reames, Jennifer Thiele, Cindy Gardner, Nancy Contolini, Elki Powers, Ruby Fry-Matson, Janet Riedel, and Carla Albright ~ who did everything from decorate the Museum to tallying the bids and always helped when and where they were asked. A very special thank you to our most talented and creative volunteer Diane Colcord who designs all the signage, ads, posters, programs and anything else we need throughout the year!
Also, a great big THANK YOU to all our tree decorators: Wanda Hurliman (for Hampton Lumber), Evelynn VonFeldt (for VFW Auxilary Post #2848), Patty Brown and Suzanne Weber (for Marilyn Phegley-CPA), Lisa Greiner (for Oregon Coast Dance Center), Celia Williams, Tanya Wilks and Dayne Reese (for Tillamook Bowling Lanes), Ashley Christenson (for Tillamook Rotary and Bizeau Family Dentistry), Sunflower Flat's Natalie Rieger (for Rieger Logging), and Jennifer Thiele (for TCPM). We can't hold the Festival each year with out such creative people!
