Let's return to the O Tannenbaum exhibit at the Tioga County historical society and look at some more of the tree decorations. These have some interesting origins.
Minnie Mouse.
This tree has a backstory. Above is this year's tree, which the family calls Kelli's Amusement Park Tree, in honor of Kelli Ford, who loved Amusement Parks and their rides. She spent many happy hours with friends at the Tioga County Fair each year, and the family would go to an amusement park on their vacations.
The family decorates the tree every O Tannenbaum (the ornaments are auctioned off at the end of the exhibition). Kelli Ford died in a car accident in 2004 when she was only 17. This tradition of the annual tree is a beautiful tribute to her family's love for her.
Finally, a Buffalo Bills tree. The Bills are an American Football team out of Buffalo, New York, and many people in this area are their fans.
