Hundreds of people met at Winter Garden’s Heritage Foundation for Oranges and Ornaments exhibit Friday, Nov. 21.
Organizations and businesses decorated Christmas trees with various themes to be sold.
Dana Wells from Sunshine Coaching Group decorated her tree with oranges, ornaments and pictures of old Winter Garden.
Kathy Valadja helped with the decorations and handmade ornaments to be hung. She added her special touch of a red cardinal like she does in every piece she works on, due to the famous saying “when a cardinal appears, a loved one is near.”
Valadja and Wells were emotional to see their tree sold for $1,000.
Like their tree, other trees were sold and profits made went directly back to the foundation.
Attendees could enter raffles, were offered finger foods and were greeted with wines.
