The Bellerose-Floral Park Homemakers won a blue ribbon prize for decorating a Christmas tree that represented the group's collective baking and sewing talents.
The “Cookie Cutter Christmas Tree” is a four-foot tree adorned with time-tested homemaker recipe cards; a hand-sewn Santa, Christmas bell-shaped “cookies” and gingerbread people; cookie cutter molds, measuring cups, spatulas and whisks. A handmade gingerbread angel sat atop the brightly lit and beribboned tree.
The 29th annual “Festival of Trees” fundraiser hosted by United Cerebral Palsy of Nassau is a renowned event that attracts entries from across the Island over Thanksgiving weekend at the Cradle of Aviation in Uniondale.
