Festival of Trees this weekend

The yearly fundraiser for the Friends of the Soda Springs Library will be held this weekend, November 22 at the Enders downtown from 4 to 8 pm, with a “Storytime with Santa” from 9am to noon.  

As the day approached, the hotel was filled with preparations last weekend as the DIY tree-designers and the members of the Friends were on site brining the trees to life, so to speak.  The trees themselves are artificial, which makes them both safer for use in homes and businesses as well as items which will have potentially many years worth of service in them.

With several dozen sponsors and donors (including the Presenting Tree Sponsors Grittons, CMC, Soda Smiles, and Lookout Credit Union), the Enders was a hive of activity, somewhat like the tree being designed for Brown’s Bees.  

As the trees began to take shape, the differences in color palette, theme, and approach started to become apparent.  

Seen in part on this page are some of those working on setting up the trees for the Festival last weekend.  Seen on site were Bear River Integrated Medicine, SSHS Student Council members, Nutrien, Jeff’s Body Repair, Itafos, the Lions Club, Mountain View, and representatives of several other sponsors throughout the day,  Members of the Friends of the Library were also busy creating the wreaths and trees that will fill the space come this weekend.
