Local Tree Lots Offer Fresh, PreCut Options
A variety of Christmas tree lots already are being tapped. Several benefit community causes.
An for many is the one hosted by Boy Scout Troop 322 on the Walmart Supercenter parking lot in Eureka, alongside Interstate 44. Troop parent Shay Hawkins said a large variety of sizes and types of trees are available, including Nova Scotia Balsam, Scotch Pines, Fraser Fir, Douglas Fir and Blue Spruce.
"With the purchase of a tree, you will receive a certificate redeemable at many local Eureka businesses," said Hawkins.
