Tree artwork missing in a Sarasota park

Posted: Updated:
SARASOTA, FL -

More than ten trees decorated for an art show in Sarasota Sapphire Shores Park have lost their decor. The trees were wrapped in yarn for the the Sun Circle Art Show. The yarn wrapping from seven trees went missing Saturday.

"A wild, crazy decorated tree makes you smile; this doesn't. Our park is very active and folks are missing them," Jane Nutter Johnson, the art show chair, said about the wrapped trees.

She said a few old and young helpers joined the decorating process Saturday last week.

They discovered the yarn was missing early Sunday morning.

Johnson said, they will do more "yarn bombing" of the trees for the art show that is scheduled for March 3nd. The show will present fine art and craftwork by local artists, live performances, a bonsai exhibit and a silent auction.
