National Christmas Tree makes stop in Eighty Four
Alec Varley signs a banner covering the National Christmas Tree during its stop at 84 Lumber in Eighty Four on its way to Washington, D.C. 84 Lumber employees like Varley could sign their names and enjoy a festive gathering Thursday afternoon at the company’s campus along Route 519 in North Strabane Township with the tree prominently displayed in the background. The 63-foot-tall Norway Spruce was cut down from the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia, and is being escorted by the U.S. Forest Service on its way to being installed on the West Lawn outside the U.S. Capitol on Nov. 17.
