This weekend's 9th annual 'Festival of Trees' sparkles in Shelton
I covered the preview reception for TEAM Volunteer Caregivers' ninth annual "Festival of Trees" last night at Wesley Village in Shelton.
My husband accompanied me and we marveled at the artistic decorations on the trees, as well as holiday wreaths and gift baskets. So much creativity!
By comparison our tree usually looks more like Charlie Brown's tree than what I viewed last night.
One of the taller trees, "Roses and Ribbons."
This is "Angel Dreams," sponsored by the Shelton Butterfly Project, standing atop a grand piano in the front room at the adjacent Crosby Commons.
These are the first two we came upon when we arrived. On the left is "Amethyst Advent," and on the right is "Christmas in the UConn."
This elegant tree, "Victorian Secret," graces a corner of the library.
Here are "Holiday Fantasy," left, and a candy-covered "Sweet Holiday."
After all that decorating one might need a coffee break...this is "Dunkin' Donuts Delight."
This fun event includes a craft fair which benefits Wesley Village senior activity programs.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and tomorrow. If you go, you'll surely get into the holiday spirit.

Great photos Patty, yes it was a very festive and inspiring way to kick off this holiday season. BTW, I like the Charlie Brown tree, sometimes "less is more".
