For nearly 20 years, trees placed in the middle of the Dartmouth Green at Christmas have come from all over the Upper Valley, usually donated by an area family. This year's 40-foot-tall fir was donated by Hanover resident Sandy Allen. At the annual tree lighting ceremony on December 3, two local children will throw the switch to light the tree.
The tree is decorated with 1,200 LED lights, which last year replaced the same number of incandescent lights. The LEDs draw only about six amps of power - 90 percent less than was required for the incandescents.
If a community member has a large tree on their property that they would like to donate, they should contact Dartmouth’s Facilities Operations and Management office at 603-646-2485.
