Festival of Trees - Lawrence, KS

After Thanksgiving I went to Lawrence KS to visit with my daughter, Kimmy. We spent a wonderful Monday just walking and going into all the different shops and stores on Mass Street in Lawrence. Liberty Hall Theater which is a beautiful old building was hosting the Lawrence Festival of Trees. The trees are provided by businesses in the area and are auctioned off. The proceeds from the Festival of Trees goes to the Shelter, Inc., with the Kansas Dept. of Social and Rehabilitation Services.

"May There Be Peace" tree was decorated with handmade origami cranes, which in the Japanese tradition symbolized Peace, Prosperity and Long Life. This tree was put together by the Pink Ladies and Red Hot Mammas #30505.

"Seasonal Spirits" this tree you literally had to be 21 years of age or older to purchase. It had nearly 60 mini bottles of libation and stemmed glassware. This tree was put together by Marx Hair Salon and Jensen Retail Liquor.

"Fun in the Sun" this tree was bright and cheery with all the swim suits, sunglasses and I loved the flamingos.

Inside the theater are these beautiful paintings on the walls and across the ceilings.
