There’s a Canoe in the White House … for Christmas
3 Dec
We read in our local paper, HERE, that there’s a canoe in the Blue Room of the White House. It’s painted on an ornament hanging from on the White House Christmas tree.
This year, the first family’s tree is decorated with 347 hand-created ornaments designed to represent America’s national parks, memorials, seashores, historic sites, and monuments.
The ornament depicting the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, designed by former St. Croix park ranger Rita Morgan, features canoeists paddling down the picturesque river that forms part of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
You can see the ornament (and many others) via THIS PAGE, although it’s not the side of the decoration with the paddlers on it, unfortunately.
