The Christmas Festival. This festival started 19 years ago as my mothers "Brain Child" to raise money for different axullieries in Kanab. Now its purpose is for the Symphony of the Canyons and the music department at Kanab High. Its a big deal, the money raised in this two day event supports both Symphony of the Canyons and the High School all year long. So, we transform the middle school gym into something not so quite like a gym. On Friday night we hold a fancy catered dinner, prime rib and all (thanks to Houston's Trails End Restaurant, Yum!) and the Symphony serenades us with some beautiful Christmas music while we dine. Then Saturday is devoted to local artisans with goods to for us to buy, and yummy food with entertainment going the whole day. Its quite a production for just 1 day and a dinner. Here is what we (my mom Chamberlain, and myself) did. Oh and for the 2nd year running we have had a light parade that runs down main street. so thats the dark picture with the truck that has lights! I wish that I did have a camera instead of my broken cell phone camera because it really was awesome. The theme this year was "Christmas is for the Birds" and we had bird cages hanging from all the chandilers as well as a huge 150 year old bird cage hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the gym.

All the arrangements that my mom made to go all throughout the gym
All the Trees that we cemented into cans that the sweet lunch ladies saved for us
The final product
Probably the funniest thing is, that we didnt take any pictures of the actual event during the night nor the day except the one of the delicous Navajo Tacos
