The annual Christmas tree sale by Moose Jaw's Rotary Clubs, the traditional spot for many families preparing for the holiday season, is now open in the parking of the Moose Jaw Co-op Food Store, with daily hours until Dec. 10.
"We just opened yesterday and we had a good first day," said Rotarian Dave Bowler, who is in charge of sales this year. "We're hoping to sell out all our trees, we usually go until around Dec. 10. We have Saskatchewan-grown Balsam trees and Fraser fir trees.
"This fundraiser supports all our Rotary Club initiatives, so when a person receives a tree, they also get a list of all the causes we support. So, it's kind of a general fundraiser for several different things, such as the food bank, Transition House, Riverside Mission, and more."
Pavilion hours:
- Mon-Fri 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Saturdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Sundays 12 to 5 p.m.
On Saturday, Dec. 2, Santa Claus will make an appearance to help sell Rotary trees. Families will have a chance for a visit and a photo.
The fundraiser has been ongoing for many years and sells approximately 400 trees annually. Rotary volunteers always offer tree care tips to help the tree last through the season, and a free quality guarantee.
