A special group of public servants received some extra love from the Duchesne County Commissioners this month in the form of a beautiful, blue tree. While there were many gorgeous trees in the Enchanted Forest auction held last week, the Christmas in Blue tree stood out with its homemade decorations including stockings, a tree skirt, ornaments, and the “Officer’s Night Before Christmas” poem on display. The tree was donated by the Duchesne County Commissioners. Bobbi Jo Casper and Elizabeth Mathews designed and executed the display that was dedicated to helping the costs of the Duchesne County K-9 unit. The ornaments displayed the names of canine officers Q, Kimber and Xen. The Uintah Basin Medical Center purchased the tree in the auction for $6,000 dollars and the tree will remain on display in the hospital through the holiday season for all who hope to admire it in person.
