The following are the 2008 Tree Award Winners. The Festival Committee believes EVERY tree is a winner so we congratulate ALL tree donors for their outstanding creations and donations to the Festival. The trees were judged in a variety of categories by a panel of
judges on Thursday, November 19, 2008. The awards were announced at Premier Night on November 20, 2008.

JUDGES
Our judges are chosen for their expertise in floral design and/or artistic talent. The Festival of Trees is serious in its effort (to the extent possible) that all judging is done without knowledge of the person, group, or organization presenting the trees. Our rules stipulate that judges are not allowed to be from Methuen or have affiliation with a person, group or organization that donates a tree to the Festival of Trees.

Sharon Morley, Artist - Essex Art Center
Katie Capistron, Art Teacher - Tyngsborough High School
Joyce Morency, Florist - Acadian Bouquet
