Hi all,
The Cottars will be in Boston on Nov. 24th representing the Government of Nova Scotia. They will attend the official ceremony to light the Christmas Tree on Boston Common.
This year's tree is a 40 foot white spruce located in New Ross, Lunenburg County. It is being provided by Mr. & Mrs. Alan Broome. The white spruce will serve as the focal point for the annual tree-lighting ceremony on Thursday Nov 30, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Boston Common.
Ross Pentz, Department of Natural Resource's Christmas tree extension specialist for Western Nova Scotia, is co-ordinating activities on behalf of the province. Department of Transportation and Public Works staff are transporting the tree to Boston. Officials expect the tree will arrive in Boston on Friday, Nov. 17, at which time the tree will be set up on the Boston Common.
For more than 30 years, Nova Scotia has donated a giant evergreen each year to the people of Boston as a thank you for their assistance following the 1917 Halifax Explosion.
