The tradition of selling Christmas trees in downtown Easthampton lives on, thanks to the Easthampton Congregational Church.
For many years, various civic organizations, most recently the Kiwanis Club sold Christmas trees at the Easthampton Rotary. This year, for the 4th year in a row the church is proud to continue the tradition. Sales now take place on the church grounds at the corner of Main and Union Streets.
The trees, freshly cut in New Hampshire include spruce and balsam varieties. Not only are the trees pesticide-free, making the safe for households, but they are recyclable. Fun fact: goats love eating Christmas trees!
According to church member Neil Fairman, sales will begin on Black Friday with a special promotion of $10.00 off any tree.
Reverend Sherry Tucker, is Pastor of Easthampton Congregational Church an open and affirming church. According to Tucker, “when folks purchase a tree from our church, they can feel good that their dollars will go towards supporting our church’s mission of helping others in the community. The church is grateful for the Easthampton community’s support in past years. We are pleased that we can again offer quality trees at a competitive price. We hope all people enjoy a meaningful holiday season.”
