Christmas Tree Decorating in Old Forge
This year’s Christmas tree that now stands at the Point Park at the busy corner in Old Forge was cut down from town-owned land on Bisby Road by the Highway Department with help from Ron Parent of Parent’s Tree Service.
On Wednesday, November 12, Frontier Communications crewmen Jim Williams and Rich Snyder used two bucket loaders to string the white lights and hang red velvet bows on the higher elevations of the 20-foot fir tree.
Others helping to decorate were Department of Public Works personnel Scott Gaffney, Justin Ross, Mike Notley, Charlie Bogardus, and Jeff Peterson, and Councilwoman Kate Russell who made and provided the red bows. The white lights and red bow concept for the tree was suggested by Stuart deCamp, Russell said, adding that Lori Zellweger and a team of volunteers will soon decorate the grounds of the Point Park.
The tree will come alive at the tree lighting ceremony on Friday, November 25 following the Christmas on Main Street Light Parade.
