Since the festival's beginning in 1971, more than $8.6 million has been raised for the care of sick children without financial resources who depend on Primary Children's Medical Center for specialized care. All proceeds from the annual event have been used to provide charity care for hospitalized children from Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Mon- had found the right project at last. Last year's festival featured over 500 large and small trees, as well as thousands of other decoration and gift items for sale, which resulted in a donation to the hospital of $817,000. "Perhaps the most incredible aspect of Festival of Trees is the fact that virtually everything is donated," notes Mrs. Wright. "The trees are purchased and decorated by individuals, families, groups and businesses and then donated to be sold. In addition, beautiful handmade items are donated to fill the shops; businesses provide the paper and printing for posters and tickets'; corporations offer their trucks and drivers to help deliver trees; and even the exhibit space rent is paid for by an endowment bequeathed to the hospital by a faithful Festival of Trees volunteer." Mrs. Wright estimates that during the past 24 years, about 6,300 large and small trees have been decorated and donated; and about 1.2 million people have attended the festival to see and buy the trees while purchasing about 4,000 pounds of fudge. To commemorate this special anniversary year, a book entitled "Festival ofTrees, Memories and Recipes," has been compiled, filled with wonderful, warm stories from festival volunteers, who also share some of their favorite recipes. The book will be offered at the 0, tana. "We feel it's a real honor and privilege to produce the 25th Festival of Trees," says Kris Wright, festival chairwoman. "It's tremendously inspiring to look back through the years and realize the work and dedication of so many who built this event to what it is today." The festival began in 1971 ip the Armory on Sunnyside Ave. The first year, 60 trees were sold for a total of $47,000. The W omen's Endowment Commit- tee, led by Betty (Mrs. Richard) Wells, had tried several fund-raisefor the hospital, but none had worked well.

"The Stream Team program came about from a survey we conducted ar insects and invertebrates," Douglass continued. "Some critters are pollution tolerant, and others are not. We want to know what the water quality is to better manage for fishing recreation and simple habitat health." Anyone interested in adopting their own stream or lake should contact the Utah with anglers," says Phil Douglass, aquatic education coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "Their top priority was to help improve the health of streams and lakes. So this program gives them a chance to make a difference."
