City seeks community Christmas tree

The city of Fairborn has started its search for the community Christmas tree for the downtown holiday parade and tree lighting.

Residents interested in donating their fir, spruce or pine tree can call 937-754-3030 or email fairborn@ci.fairborn.oh.us. Residents are asked to provide name, address, approximate height of the tree and location of the tree in their yard.

The tree should be at least 30 feet tall and must be located within the city limits. City staff evaluates all potential tree donations before selecting the community Christmas tree.

The tree will be decorated for the holiday season and lit up during the parade at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. The deadline to submit a tree for consideration is 4:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25. STEVEN MATTHEWS
