Canyon County Festival of Trees

As a contestant in the Mrs. Idaho pageant I get to attend a lot of great events in our community. On December 2nd I was able to help out at the festival of trees Gala and Silent Auction. What a great night. The night was to help Meals on Wheels. A big thanks to Marcie Messmer and Amy who were so kind to show us what we were to do to how help with the auction. The night was well organized and I am sure they worked very hard to make the night memorable.


I have a soft spot in my heart for this organization because I had a very ill mother who suffered from Arthritis and was bed ridden the last 10 years of her life. I was very young and I felt so blessed that she was able to get meals on wheels because my siblings and I were not always home to help her out. I know that she made friends with the people that showed up daily to drop off her meal. Rain or shine they were always there and I know it helped brighten her day.
