Delphian School Sponsors Tree in McMinnville, Oregon's first annual Festival of
Delphian School students sponsored a Christmas tree to be auctioned off at the first annual Festival of Trees, held at the Evergreen Aviation Museum on December 8th.
Four students from The Delphian School in Sheridan, Oregon, have sponsored a Christmas tree for the first annual Festival of Trees, hosted by the Evergreen Aviation Museum in neighboring McMinnville. Trees from all sponsors will be on display from November 25th through December 8th, with bidding occurring at the Museum Gala on the evening of 8th.
Delphian School students Ryan Gutknecht (16), Diana Clarizio (17), Kara Troughton (17), and Nikki Rooney (14) teamed up to decorate their tree, entitled "Candyland." The students said it was inspired by "The Night Before Christmas."
"I wanted to make it look edible," said the tree's main designer, Diana Clarizio. "The tree is hung with gingerbread cookies, little bags of candy and candy canes. We wanted it to look scrumptious and colorful, like a child’s dream of Christmas." The students designed and decorated the tree at The Delphian School and then moved it to the museum, where it is now on display.
Proceeds from this fundraising effort will go toward expanding the promotional efforts of the Yamhill Valley Visitors Association to increase the impact of visitor spending while striving to honor and maintain the quality of life in Yamhill Valley.
