O' Christmas Tree: Danvers Seeks Donation Of Perfect Holiday Symbol

DANVERS, MA — Amid the empty candy wrappers and Halloween costumes cast aside for another year, the Danvers Department of Public Works is already setting its sights on one of the town's quintessential Christmas symbols.

The town is seeking donations for the downtown Christmas tree that will be lit up for this holiday season.

Those who believe their tree makes the cut are asked to reach out to the Danvers DPW at 978-777-0001 Ext 3011 or danversdpw@danversma.gov.

The ideal tree will be well-proportioned and healthy, while tall enough to "stand proudly in the heart of downtown Danvers."
