GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Grand Rapids this week, with the installation of the annual Christmas Tree on Wednesday morning.
The 37-foot Concolor Fir comes from Watson's Tree Farm in Lake City, MI, and will be decorated with 40-50,000 lights when it's completed. But don't expect to see those shining until after the city's Santa Parade on Saturday, November 22nd.
Even though it will be quite the site to see, for safety reasons the public is being asked not to congregate to view the installation onsite, where a crane and boom lift will be used to hoist and secure the tree into position.
This year's tree sponsors are Charlie and Elizabeth Secchia and Family, Rockford, and the City of Grand Rapids.
