Club's 'God Bless America' Tree Featured in Festival of Trees Auction
On December 11, United Way's 2024 Festival of Trees kicked off in Parkersburg, WV. Wood County Republican Women's "God Bless America" tress was one of the more than 75 trees entered in the display.
The Festival of Trees is a highly anticipated evening where the community comes together for fun and fellowship. Bidding is always robust because 95% of auction proceeds stay in the mid-Ohio Valley and Parkersburg area.
This year trees auctioned off ranged from $150 to $7,000.
Wood County RW's patriotically themed tree, beautifully and elaborately decorated, was popular among visitors to the auction. One bidder said if she was the winning bid, the "God Bless America" tree would be displayed in a local veteran's clinic.
