Get your trees now! Sales are strong despite some cold and rainy weather.


Lion Palo Peirce ready to serve customers!

Although Friday night was foggy & rainy, the drop-off traffic was brisk from 5:00-8:00 PM.

Saturday morning was cold & windy but the drop-off traffic was steady up to the 10:00 AM cutoff. As usual, the line for the 11:00 AM sale opening was down the walkway and around the corner and along the driveway.

On Saturday, Acton Boy Scout Troop 284 operated the food concession at the main entrance and had quite a variety of hot and cold items to choose from. (Note: the Club sponsors Troop 284)
Sunday’s weather was ideal and although slow, there was a steady trickle of customers all day. As anticipated the pay-out and pick-up period beginning at 3:00 was busy.

All in all, it was a successful event, however gross sales were down about 12% from last year, which was an extremely good year..

Thanks to all Lions as well as the Acton Emergency Management crew for their participation.
