ST. JOHNS, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — This year’s Michigan State Christmas Tree will come from a first-time location.
The 63-foot-tall spruce comes from St. Johns in Clinton County, marking the first time the state tree has come from that location.
The owners of the property where the tree was found had recently purchased the land, and were told that state officials were looking at the tree as a possible choice.
It will be harvested late this month, taken to Lansing, and unveiled with a lighting ceremony next month.
The Michigan Capitol Commission, along with the Lansing Board of Water and Light, will develop the lighting scheme and decorate the tree, and the official lighting ceremony will take place on Friday, November 18 at 7:30 pm.
