Ready or not, it's time for the Manchester Men's Club annual Christmas Tree sale!

On Sunday, November 29, members of the club will leave early in the morning to retrieve 180 trees from Arend's Tree Farm in Grass Lake. They expect to have their site at Chi-Bro Park set up by noon, and ready to sell all of their trees within the next few weeks, according to club president Andy Mahony. "Last year we sold out quickly, so people should plan to come early," he added.

Tree prices remain the same at $45 each. This is really a bargain--the best price in the area, Mahony said--and all proceeds benefit Men's Club projects that help the Manchester community.

"We are sticking with the same formula as always," Mahony said. "But we do have one new feature this year--we will have candy canes for the kids who come to help their parents pick out trees."

Stop by the sale in Chi-Bro Park from 12-5 pm on Sunday, 5-8 pm on weekdays, and 9 am - 5pm on Saturdays. And have a Merry Christmas, compliments of the Men's Club.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
