The Birch Ridge 2012 Christmas Tree - Naked

The Birch Ridge 2012 Christmas Tree - Naked

Over the river and through the woods to... wait.. that's the wrong verse.

Over the river and through the woods we did go yesterday on our hunt for the 2012 Birch Ridge Inn Christmas tree. Armed with chain saws, and a friends pick up truck, our intrepid band of Christmas Tree hunters left the inn in the early morning hours, about the crack o' 10, to drive to a retired tree farm in West Rutland to harvest this years tree. All told, including the tree for the inn, we got 4 trees for ourselves and several friends.

The Christmas tree is now standing in the inn's Great Room, getting acclimated to it's new home before decorating it for the season. It currently towers 16 feet from the floor to its top, although the tree will probably be trimmed down a little before it gets decorated. The decorating process will begin this evening and last at least through the end of the week. If you are in Killington, feel free to drop in and see it's progress.

Around town we are continuing to have light snow flurries, keeping the ground white. Keep up the good work with your snow dances.

Let it snow!
