Have you seen this year’s Chrismons Tree?
It’s out
there, somewhere, waiting for us to recognize it.
Do you, a relative, a friend or a coworker have some
property or farmland? Are there cedar trees growing on that property? If
you thought, “Yes, I might know someone”, then you may know where our
tree is growing.
We are looking for a full well-shaped tree. The basic
criteria are:
- 18-22 feet tall
- 8-10 feet in diameter
- Single trunk. Many cedar trees have several
trunks, You will have to look inside the tree to see if it has just one
thick center trunk.
- Cannot see daylight through the tree. We
hide extension cords, braces and a framework inside the tree, so it
needs to be nice and thick.
- Reasonably full all the way around the bottom of
the tree. We have tried to avoid using filler trees for the last
few years.
- Relatively easy access to the tree. We need
to drive a truck to the tree and load it on a flatbed trailer.
If you have some property or know someone well enough
to ask, look around and see if you can find the perfect tree.
Ascension will cut the tree and haul it to the church.
The donor of the tree is recognized in the Chrismons
Tree Brochure which all of our visitors to the tree receive.
If you think you have found the perfect tree or have
questions please contact Ascension Lutheran Church at 792-5795 or email us
at chrismon@gamewood.net.
