Every year the Department of Aviation has sponsored the “Holiday & Cultural Tree Trimming Program.” For the second year, The Joffrey Ballet was asked to be a participating organization in an effort to bring Chicago’s cultural diversity to travelers visiting the city during the Holiday season.
Two Joffrey employees, Kristen Caruso and Amanda Mestemacher, were dispatched to O’Hare, on Monday, fortunately ahead of the rush of Thanksgiving travelers, in order to spread some sugar plum delight to the masses. We adorned our 8 foot, prelit tree with an assortment of ornaments including stars, floating dancers, Nutcrackers, snowflakes, and specially RIT dyed red and green dancers’ pointe shoes. Amanda braved climbing the ladder to add a shining homemade star to the highest bough.
We received a very positive response, helpful hints, tips and some requests for directions, from travelers who walked by to admire our tree. We wrapped boxes to serve as Nutcracker presents under the tree.
Come and visit our tree! We’re located in United’s baggage claim area – right next to Door 1A.
Happy Holidays!

I like it!
I'm loving the red and green pointe shoes!
I LOVE how involved the Joffrey is in the greater Chicago culture! And I love the little red toe shoe :) That's so fun that regular travelers were getting into it and helping out!
