Choose Your Own Christmas Tree

December 6, Saturday

Remember the old days when the family went out to the woods, chose a tree, cut it, and brought it home to decorate it? Waterman Center made arrangements with a local tree grower to give you a chance to relive those days. Trees may be taken home that day, or delivered to Waterman on December 13. Call the center for more information.
