Everyone needs to take the time to visit the St. Peter’s Festival of Trees in WashMO.
It is open to the public on weekends until Christmas: Saturday from 3 – 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 – 6 p.m.
Make sure you bring some canned goods and place them under the SPIRIT OF MIZZOU TREE.
All food collected goes to area food pantries.
If you check out the Spirit of Mizzou tree, you’ll find a multitude of tigers peeking out of its limbs. These tigers represent the 30,000+ current students, 13,000+ faculty and MU Health Care employees, and 320,000 living alumni of the University of Missouri. Their work, services, research and outreach can be felt worldwide. There are almost 100 Mizzou Alumni chapters around the world whose mission is to keep alumni connected with one another and their alma mater, to provide support and scholarships to students, to give back to their local communities, and to support the best interests and traditions of Missouri’s flagship university and its alumni. In the spirit of Mizzou, the Franklin County Tigers wish everyone a blessed Christmas and happy new year.
