Christmas tree lots start popping up

Posted by Geeky Swedes on November 27th, 2009

Once again this holiday season, Boy Scout Troop 100 will be setting up its annual Christmas tree lot in the St. Alphonsus Church parking lot.

Most of the trees are hand picked by some of the troop’s fathers and sons. “This scout is working with one of our many growers to hand-select some of the trees that we’ll begin selling this weekend. Selection work begins way back in August!” tree lot manager and Boy Scout dad Dan Cress tells us. This is the one and only fundraiser for the troop and has been a tradition for nearly 60 years. The trees go on sale this Sunday through December 20th.

Just up 15th, Jimmy Wild will open his Christmas tree lot at Top Banana today, the day after Thanksgiving. He’ll have eight different varieties of trees for sale.
