Ferrum Belltower Ornament on the National Christmas Tree in Washington, DC!
The brilliant gold ornament featuring Vaughn Chapel's iconic Belltower is hanging on the National Christmas Tree on the Capitol lawn. This year's National Tree was provided by Virginia for the first time, coming from nearby Highland County and measuring 67 feet tall. The Ferrum Lions Club ornaments, many of which feature beautiful laser-cut renditions of Ferrum College's historic buildings, have been very popular. Three ornaments from the Ferrum Lions Club are on the National Christmas Tree: our Belltower, St. James and Phoebe Needles. This summer the latest Lions Club ornament of Ferrum's beloved Roberts Hall, will debut in time to commemorate its renovations. Special thanks to Dorothy Cundiff, Director of the Rocky Mount Retail Merchants Association who made sure our regional ornaments made it on the National Tree. Ferrum Lions Club Ornaments are sold at the Ferrum College Bookstore.
