Speechless Sunday (almost!): Chess anyone?

Speechless Sunday (almost!): Chess anyone?

 

Speechless Sunday (almost!): Chess anyone?

 

A chess lover's Christmas tree decorated in all its finest trimmings! Black and white with a hint of red for the season, whimsical enough for all passersby but serious enough for game players. I'm sure this tree found a home with someone who could appreciate the "Let's play chess" theme. The Jubilee of Trees undoubtedly has something for everyone!

 

A little history of the Jubilee of Trees Festival...

Since 1981, the Jubilee of Trees has raised more than $2 million dollars for neonatal health-care for babies as well as mothers-to-be and also to fund the Life Flight helicopter at Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, Utah. For many, this means the difference between life and death.

 

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Jubilee of Trees Festival and honors ongoing treatment at Dixie Regional Medical Center for women with breast cancer.

Wanda, Very cute. I would need them to make one up with a cribbage board. I suppose the possibilities are endless.

Wanda,

Very creative decorating for a worthy cause. They must be doing something right if they've been at it for 30 years.

Wanda.. This is unique.  I've never seen a chess set with a Christmas Tree on it... all in black.  I guess there is a first time for everything.

Valerie, Yes, it is an unusual tree and there are more that I will highlight in the next week or so.

Lou, A great event that is for an even better cause...for people!

Patricia, The Jubilee of Trees has continued to get better and better each year and raises awareness and money to benefit the Dixie Regional Medical Center health services. I hope as well that it continues to be a great success!

Steve, The trees are amazing! The people who create the themes and decorate the trees know how to oooh and ahhh all of us!

Hi Wanda :) - I love anything creative and especially for a good cause. Then again my 3-yr-old hung a car air freshner (shape of a tree yes) on our tree...

Wanda, not that is creative. I can remember days in college spending too much time on the chess board. I probably would have had the mind-set to do something like that way back then. Now the best I can do is remember where my chess set is stored.
