Residents and associates of Juniper Village at Brookline teamed
up to create a magical “The Sound of Music” themed Christmas tree for the 20th annual
Centre County United Way Festival of Trees, December 12-14. Funded by our
rehabilitation and skilled care community, a nearly 8-foot Tannenbaum tree was
adorned with visions straight from the classic, “My Favorite Things”, including
raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, warm woolen mittens, and more! Each
ornament was carefully crafted with love, from the brown paper packages tied up
with strings that were piled high beneath the tree, to the tree topper
itself—sheet music fashioned into an intricate bow.
Festival of Trees is held in conjunction with the annual
Bellefonte Victorian Christmas. Community members pay a nominal fee to view the
trees decorated by area businesses and organizations. Trees are voted on for
cash rewards, and proceeds benefit the 34 Centre County United Way partner
agencies. Additionally, the event is one that is a highly-anticipated holiday
outing for Juniper residents.
