I recently did a blog on a shoe tree I saw between LaVerkin and Toquerville Utah. I wondered why there were shoes all over in the tree. Hope that someone will have some information on it. Rich Dansereau added an interesting comment about bottle trees down south and the folK lore behind them (also a great picture of one). I was wondering what other folk lore people might like to share?
Update, KSL TV in Salt Lake City is going to do a story on the tree and use my picture. They recently cut it down because they felt it was a hazard. A student wrote that they started a new tree across town. The information on how it got started is in a link below.

I went to St George, Utah last week and on my way back to Salt Lake City I passed through the towns of LaVerkin and Toquerville. In between these two towns I saw this tree.

Can you guess what is in the tree?
Yep they are shoes. Why? I do not know. I hope to find out where this tradition started and get back to you.
