I was honored to be one of the emcees for the Festival of Trees Gala last Friday night at the Sioux Falls Convention Center. The Festival of Trees is a benefit for Southeastern Behavioral Health Care and has become a Sioux Falls holiday tradition. The trees were amazing, the Gala was a blast and, more importantly, we raised money for a great cause.

Thanks to my co-emcees Tom and Sandra from KELO-FM... And to the Auctioneers Les Miller and Jon Sweeter. Les and Jon make the evening... I think people bid just because it's fun to see them get so excited. Their enthusiasm is unmatched and is certainly one of the reasons that the Gala and auction have been so successful throughout the years.

This blog entry is more of a video blog... Click the video link above for a short two minute video that I put together with some of the best sights and sounds of the evening.
