A collection of Christmas ornaments

Festival of Trees 2011

Marge, Charlie, Evan and I went to the opening of the 2011 Festival of Trees at the Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton. The Babazes were a big help again this year, sponsoring the entry through Mountain Antiques, and selecting penguins for the tree as we unpacked the entire collection one evening. It was a good time, with good friends, good food, good drink, good music and more than 30 Christmas trees. They will be on display through December 31 for any of you who happen to be the area. The annual event benefits Toys for Tots and the trolley museum. Click here for more pictures on my Facebook album.

About My Penguin Tree

I have hundreds of penguin Christmas tree ornaments that have been given to me as gifts or that I have bought. The blog is a way for me to keep track of which ones I have and where they came from. Also I want to share the collection with as many people as possible, especially all of you who have helped me amass this amazing collection. My first post Jan. 2, 2010, will give you a quick introduction. The post on March 9, 2010, explains how it all began. Enjoy my penguins and the stories they have to tell.
