Thank you all who joined us for A Celebration of Wreaths & Trees!
A special thank you to our local businesses and organizations who shared trees and wreaths, our volunteers for doing everything from tuning the fine details of the decorations, braving the cold to share their passion with our visitors (even dressing as Alexander Ladd), and to our sponsors for making it all come to life!
