The Pearl S. Buck House Festival of Trees opened to the public on Tuesday, and it looks awesome! Each room in the house has been decorated by a community group, business, or organizaiton. The entire house was transformed and has a wonderful holiday feeling which put me in the mood for our Holiday Members' Event on Tuesday evening. It was a nice evening with over 115 people attending. The food was deliciously catered by Temperance House (http://www.temperancehouse.com/) and our members seemed to enjoy the evening and even did a little Holiday shopping in our gift shop. Our wonderful volunteers are now off getting ready for our annual juried craft show which opens the day after Thanksgiving for a 10 day period. For the third year in a row, employees from Prodesco (http://www.prodesco.com/) spent the day with us yesterday helping to transform the cultural center into a winter wonderland for the craft show. I am so grateful for the wonderful support of all of the men and women who help us carry out the dreams and legacy of Pearl S. Buck. I can't wait until the craft show opens and hope to do some holiday shopping before my upcoming trip to Korea and China on December 1st. More on the trip in my next blog.
