The 2007 Choose & Cut Christmas Season has begun.
Twin Ponds Road is generally in good condition but you should exercise care on the hill on the East end of the road. The hill suffered from the July storm that caused so much damage in Central Vermont. The road has been a dead end until recently because of a culvert that washed out. The road is still a bit narrower than it has been. Just be a little more cautious going up or down the hill.
When you turn into the parking area and turn left toward the Christmas Barn, you will see signs directing you to parking. You will also notice that we have increased visibility by cutting some trees along the road.
We still have our new field of mostly Balsam Fir this year. Please avoid stepping on the small trees. We will continue our practice of a tractor drawn trailer to take your trees to the barn during busy periods. We prefer that you not ride on the trailer for liability reasons.
We have live trees in pots this year. They range from 2.5 feet to over 5 feet in height and cost from $25.00 to $35.00 plus tax. Keep them in your house this Winter and plant them after the fear of frost next Spring.
We have a new (to us) tree spade and we can dig both hardwood and softwood trees up to a 20" root ball in diameter.
The Williamstown Youth Fellowship Group will again be providing a bake sale on December 15 and perhaps the 16th. Their delicious food and hot drinks have been a big hit for several years.
