Christmas Tree Forest
This year’s Christmas Tree Forest theme is “Flora and Fauna of Texas.” Twenty-three schools and civic organizations entered the contest, and the results are some of the most creative and beautiful trees we have ever had on exhibit. The judges had a very difficult time determining the best in several categories, since the competition this year was at a very high level of talent and imagination. Ultimately, winners were chosen in each of four categories. "Christmas Tree Forest" runs through January 6, 2002.
