Looking Back

An ornament painted by retired Voyageurs National Park employee Lynn Lufbery is displayed on the White House Christmas tree this year as one of the decorations selected for “Holiday in the National Parks.” Lufbery, who retired in August after 22 years at VNP, traveled to Washington, D.C., on November 28 to visit the White House for an event which included the unveiling of the tree. Lufbery’s ornament, which features water, pine trees, cattails and loons, is one of 391 ornaments depicting National Park sites. The tree is an 18foot Fraser fir.
