Trees range from showcasing the creative skills of community groups to businesses entering themed trees relative to their trade. There are also a number of thought-provoking entries which have led to much conversation among the visitors. Entries have been created by people of all ages, from school children and up to many adult groups. The massive range of entries means that there really is something for everyone to enjoy.
Those who attend can also enjoy hot drinks, home bakes and a chance to sit and chat with other visitors.

It's great when a community gets together.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
...those signs are popping up these days!
ReplyDeleteFestivals are great to bring communities together.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Catharina's comment. Nicely said.
ReplyDeleteDo you have also a christmas tree in your house, Bill?
Is this Northern Ireland? I don’t think of a Methodist Church in Ireland?
ReplyDeleteWe are in the Republic of Ireland. There are a few Methodist Churches scattered around Donegal and this one is the biggest one I've seen.
DeleteHello, we have a Christmas tree festival here too. People actually buy the trees and the money is donated to a charity. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteA forest of Christmas trees Bill, must have been quite a splendid sight 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a look inside at all those trees!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good!
ReplyDeleteMust be so interesting!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHello Bill.Like this festive sign with the Christmas trees 🎄
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! Enjoy your day!
Dimi...
It must be magical there, Bill!
ReplyDeleteI remember going to something like this a few years ago. I wish I could go again. The variety of decorations is amazing. I think it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI've been toe one of these festivals and if they hold it again I'll be there again.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to anything like that.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the church.
ReplyDeleteA festive time of the year

A superb festival to be held every year is a memory to keep for sure.
ReplyDeleteReading the entries from school children would be my desire.
Years ago we were spending a month in Ireland. Just as we came over the hill and into Killybegs the song, "The Boys of Killybegs" came over the stereo. The timing was perfect. Spent two lovely nights there. The chorus of the song is:
ReplyDeleteWith a pleasant rolling sea
and the herring running free
and the fleet all riding gently thru the foam
When the boats are loaded down
ther'll be singing in the town
when the boys of Killybegs
come rolling home
What an interesting story and thanks for sharing it. I just checked out the song on YT and it had some photos in it. Very nice!
DeleteMy small town community just had one of these tree festivals. Great for this time of of year.
ReplyDeleteYep, got my tree home and standing late today.
ReplyDeleteFestivals like this can be wonderful. There's one every year where businesses create and donate beautiful trees that are then auctioned off to benefit our local hospital.
ReplyDeleteA sight to see I am sure. . .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Methodist Church . . .
Bill - this is definitely the kind of event that I like to attend - it mixes the traditional and the modern by encouraging people to be creative …
ReplyDeleteI just love this time of year and that looks like a neat church building!
ReplyDeleteSo nice for the community to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Sorry to read that you missed the festival this year, Bill, but there's always next year. We always enjoy local craft festivals.
