Scouts, friends, first responders and neighbors came out to help the Dundee Township Lions Club members unload over 200 Christmas trees this Saturday at Grafelman Park in West Dundee for the annual Christmas tree sale.
The selling of Christmas trees and wreaths is the largest fundraiser for the Lions Club. When you buy our tree you not only get a great tree you are supporting a variety of community charities.
Sale hours begin this Sunday at Grafelman Park 10 am to 6 pm and continues Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the same hours. During the following weeks Thursday and Friday hours are 6 to 8 pm, and 10 am to 6 pm Saturday and Sunday until all the trees are sold. A variety of trees and sizes are offered. In addition to trees, there will be wreaths and garland for sale.
