Need a Christmas Tree? Buying Season is Shorter

The Westborough Civic Club's annual Christmas tree sale faces a calendar challenge when it starts this Saturday, Nov. 30.

"This is the shortest-ever selling season, because of Thanksgiving and Christmas," Secretary Steve Hart says.

"We've got about 20 days to sell 1,600 trees. We have to sell 80 trees a day to meet target, which is going to be a record for us."

The first of two deliveries of 800 trees to the Tufts Machine Lot on Route 30 is at 8 a.m. this Saturday, Nov. 30, Vice President Adam Boyce said.

The club's main fundraiser will be open for sales at 9 a.m., Hart said. Another 800 trees will be delivered on Saturday, Dec. 7.

Club members spent this past Saturday preparing the lot, building tree and wreath stands there.
