Everyone who walked by stopped and took a good look at the Animal House tree, donated by Ted Dooley. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with the movie, but it's pretty impressive. You get the wooden house, all the animals and the little tree with it. This tree won first place for Most Original Tree. (JON BODELL / Insider staff)

It's not just trees at the Fez-tival. Plenty of fancy wreaths were also available. (JON BODELL / Insider staff)
