Bob Holtzman presents the story of how, in 1981, a 52-foot white spruce from Michigan’s Hiawatha National Forest in the Upper Peninsula was chosen to be the Christmas tree for the lawn at the Capitol in Washington DC and how his father-in-law, Dick Ruppenthal, was chosen to document the tree’s journey from the Upper Peninsula to Washington DC. Free of Charge. Sponsored by Alden District Library & Friends. Held at Helena Township Community Center, 8751 Helena Rd, Alden, 231-331-4318.
