Designers are Needed – Why Don’t You Give it a Shot?
We are still looking for people and organizations to design for the festival. There are a number of options from trees to wreaths, centerpieces and set-a-table. The great thing is that you don’t need to be a professional designer to participate! We have partnered with Jeffrey Allan to make sure you have all the skills you need to make a beautiful design. Two workshops will be available for you to learn the “tricks of the trade.”
“This past year I took a stab at decorating a tree for the first time. Decorator day was a blast! As I was decorating my Precious Moments tree for the Celebrity Area, I listened and watched all of the other decorators. Each one had their own strategy and process for putting their trees together. It must have been obvious it was my first time, because I had a few different people stop by to chat and offer tips. Everyone was helping one another and it was fantastic. I felt a bit of nervousness when I was decorating — would someone bid on my tree? Fortunately someone did and the bid was higher than I anticipated. (Whew!)” ~ Stephanie LH Calahan
