Festival of Trees Winners!
Deb Hopfinger of White, South Dakota, won this year's Festival of Trees People's Choice Award for "Jewels of my Life." It was a close race between "Jewels" and "It's a Wonderful Life in Origami" by Jed Nixon. The 4-H group, The Lucky Leprechauns, won the kids' division with their tree featuring handmade ornaments. The Lucky Leprechauns have competed for a number of years without taking home the prize. But their leader, Louise Coull, just happened to mention that the children donate their tree every year to the Domestic Abuse Shelter here in Brookings--so they're winners even when they don't get the big prize!
The gorgeous Nativity Scene donated by the Dakota Prairie Woodcarvers was won by Cathy Knapp of Rapid City.
Thank you to all who participated this year. While the final figures aren't in yet, it appears we had record numbers of people coming through and an increase in our fundraising amounts. Thank you so much!
