Local spruce goes to the Capital

A very special Christmas Tree Indeed, and from Murfreesboro Tennessee.  The tree (a Norway Spruce) comes from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Washer from their West Northfield Boulevard home.  Why this tree?  It was becoming a slight hazard and needed to be removed.

The tree lighting ceremony will be held Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 5 p.m. In Nashville at the Capital Building.

This year additional trees inside the Capitol will showcase the celebration of 225 years of Tennessee statehood. The trees will feature hand-painted ornaments from Tennessee’s 95 counties, ribbons imprinted with the 225 logo and ornaments with the tristar emblem and the Tennessee State Government logo.
