Bids are rolling in at the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives, where dozens of uniquely decorated trees are up for auction.
The trees, both large and small, were decorated by individuals, organizations and businesses and donated to the museum for the annual Festival of Trees silent auction fundraiser.
The trees came from a variety of sources, everyone from the Jasper Dental Clinic to Ana Lea’s Candy Lane, the Friends of Jasper National Park, the Jasper Community Team and individuals like Lee-Anne Mulvihill, who put together a gingerbread-themed tree, and Sheila Couture, who stepped out of the box and decorated a palm tree.
The auction has begun and will continue through to Saturday, Dec. 19, when the highest bidders take their trees home for the holidays.
To celebrate the season and the fabulous trees, there will be a wine and cheese event Wednesday, Dec. 16 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
