Egloskerry held their first ever Christmas Tree Festival on the first weekend in December. Thehighlight had to be the floating tree in the chancel, suspended from the ceiling. Every group orindividual who contributed to the success of the weekend created trees to reflect their focus. TheGardening Club employed miniature watering cans and carrots as decorations, the Knitting Bee anarray of (knitted) buzzing bees climbing a trellis of wood and ivy, the Skittles’ Tree was covered intiny skittles, and so on…. Refreshments were served over the three days the festival ran and fundswere raised to help finance the re-roofing of the slates slipping due to the age of the nails. I wonderif anyone managed to compute the total number of trees displayed?
