Christmas: Festival of Trees 2009 (Primary Children’s Medical Center)
Posted on Nov 23, 2010 under wreaths | 16 Comments
The Festival of Trees is an annual charity event for Primary Children’s Medical Center in Utah. Lots of donated Christmas trees on display ( www.festivaloftreesutah.com ). PLEASE rate, comment & subscribe… This event and the hospital it raises money for is special to me and my family. I had a cousin, Matt Coulam, who was a patient there. He and his mother (my aunt Alice) went to this festival every year until he died in 2001. She now has worked with the festival’s committee and donates Christmas trees, wreaths & center pieces each year (3 of her items are in this video). If you’d like to donate to the hospital, please visit their website at intermountainhealthcare.org

On behalf of John and Susan McColley and the SGTMAC Foundation, I would like to thank everyone who volunteered or donated to the SGTMAC Foundation for this year’s Wreath Project. With your assistance, we were able to place 800 wreaths on gravesites at Gettysburg National Cemetery and 2200 wreaths at Quantico National Cemetery where Sergeant Eric McColley of Gettysburg is interred. I would also like to thank Giant Food Stores, ABF Freight Systems, Gettysburg Agway and Jacoby Transportation who all provided substantial logistical and/or financial assistance.

The following day, December 5th, my wife – Candi, Corporal Jeremy McNear and I arrived at Quantico National Cemetery at 0700 to meet the ABF driver. We positioned the containers that held the wreaths in a light drizzle. By the time the approximately 150 volunteers arrived – there was a steady downpour of rain that continued until we finished placing the 2200 wreaths in sections 11 and 12. We could not do Eric’s section this year due to underground waterlines being installed. The inclement weather did not at all hamper our efforts or “dampen” the spirits of anyone there. It was a …
