Christmas Trees in the Belfast Park

 

Kathy Garrison adding paper ornaments

The Belfast Organization for Artists has been participating in the annual Belfast Lions Club Trees in the Park since 2012. 

Every year members work together to create a unique theme and wire the ornaments to the outside tree. 

The BOFA theme this year is "Angels Among Us" 

The tree lighting ceremony is planned for Dec. 4th. 

Participating members, Sharon, Elaine, Barb, Cecy, Kathy, and Sheila colored approximately 86 paper ornaments for use on the BOFA tree and for donation to the Belfast Historical Society and the Belfast Library for their respective trees. Larry and Kathy collaborated on the tree topper to create a method for the ten foot ribbons to stream and flow down the sides of the tree. 

BOFA members are also collaborating with the Belfast Historical society to do a seasonal, Family Christmas theme for their storefront window. Families have contributed copies of original holiday family photos. 

More to come in 2023 

Kathy Garrison, the BOFA events coordinator, is also working on plans for the UFO Days schedule in 2023. Pending confirmation from the Town Hall, these activities will take place 3/30/2023, 6/29/2023, 8/31/2023, and 11/30/2023. The official Unfinished Objects Days schedule will be posted when we have more information. 

BOFA members are also collaborating with the Belfast Historical Society planning committee to include local art and creators in the 2024 Bicentennial Celebrations.
