Gallery Of Christmas Trees To Return
To Conservatory In December
CLIFTON — The Bosque Conser-
vatory will host its annual “Gallery of
Christmas Trees’’ exhibit and sale in
conjunction with the Clifton Cham-
ber of Commerce’s Norwegian Coun-
try Christmas Tour on Dec. 3-4, 2004.
The Conservatory will host a pre-
view reception Friday evening, Dec.
5. Everyone is invited to attend the
reception and vote on their favorite
tree or make a bid on the multitude of
trees, centerpieces, and wreaths.
Area businesses, civic organiza-
tions, individuals, and families will be
decorating trees, wreaths, or center-
pieces, in any theme of their choice,
for the annual exhibit. The Christmas
trees will come in all sizes, from min-
iature trees to full-size artificial trees.
“The multitude of unique themes
that are used to decorate the trees is
what makes the exhibit extraordi-
nary,” said a spokesman.
Those entering the exhibit may also
donate them to the Conservatory for
the silent auction which benefits the
restoration of the building.
The Roland Jones Memorial Gal-
lery and the Photography Club gal-
lery will also be open during the
annual tour.

Conservatory at (254) 675-3724 or the
