Goodnight, Sunday.

I stumbled upon the Christmas Trees at Fries Bros. again this year and thought I’d share the info with you.

Fries Bros. is a wholesale fruit and vegetables business for most of the year but at Christmas time they open up one of their docks to the public and sell Christmas trees, wreaths, swags, and pine rope.

Starting Nov. 19, they’re open 6am-6pm daily and are located at 1455 Dalton Ave. Watch for the Christmas Tree signs along the road and then drive around back (or just follow the wonderful smell of pine!).
