White House Christmas Trees

An attendee from a Chicago event firm saw James present at the 2008 AIFD Symposium. The Event firm was working with the Michelle Obama and the White House staff, as they planned the White House Christmas for 2010. James was contacted and asked to create nine life-like Peacocks constructed in natural materials to top Christmas Trees. Additionally, he created one dove for the Armed Forces trees.
