The Rotary Club of Grimsby has been hosting the Fantasy of Trees for 25 years. There are about 30 trees and 20 wreaths up for raffle. There are all kinds of gift certificates and other items for raffle and silent auction as well. The event starts today and completes a week from Sunday on December 8th.
Each year, I make wreaths. You can see the gallery of wreaths below. There are some new designs with felt leaves, fabric flowers, real-look cedar and woven rope designs.
I usually decorate one or two trees. This year, a third tree was added so lots off decorating fun.
The Fantasy of Trees is held in the Grimsby Museum, a very pleasant gallery setting. With the sponsorship of trees, wreaths, etc, the raffle, and the silent auction, up to $20,000 is raised each year for local charities.
I look forward to Santa Day - Mr and Mrs Santa come as a team. They do this yearly for a number of charities, and we were lucky to lock them in a few years ago to come every year. Given the charity nature of the event, they are very committed to the event. Last year, I got a picture of Millie with them in front of the Museum. Let's see what happens this year.
The first tree was put together last year, with all the gold ornaments glued together in clusters. The second and third trees were done on the spur of the moment this year from contributed decorations, supplemented by purchases. And below the purple tree is the gallery of wreaths created for there Fantasy this year - some with Kerry Vandermolen, this year's Chair.
