2008 Deck the Capitol Halls

Happy Holidays! Governor Brian Schweitzer and First Lady Nancy Schweitzer invited all Montana schoolchildren to make decorations for the 56  County Holiday Trees  that adorn Montana's Capitol Building this December. Students from more than 100 classrooms  responded, sending a wonderful array of creative and beautiful ornaments and garlands.  We were pleased to add a tree for the Blackfeet Tribe to this year's line-up.
 
We will continue to post pictures of the trees this month.  If you do not see your county's tree, be assured all  the decorations  that  will possibly fit on the trees are on display to amaze and delight Capitol visitors.  

The Governor and First Lady invite all Montanans who may be visiting or traveling through Helena during the holidays to stop in and see this wonderful show of Montana's artistic talent.
