LAKE COUNTY – Skelton's Christmas Trees, celebrating 26 years of bringing fragrant, fresh-cut trees to the Lakeport area, would like to thank their many valued customers. To show their appreciation, they gave every 100th customer their chosen tree free.

“Several lucky persons thought we were joking when we told them that their tree was free," said owner Rod Skelton. “It was fun to see their faces when they realized their tree was really free. Our plan was so well received and appreciated, we'll probably do it again next year. Also, many customers were happy that we had lowered our prices by 10 percent over previous years because of the poor economy.”

Winners of free trees were Jody Hunt, Cobb; Dewey Barnes, Clearlake; Jeff Tunnell, Lakeport; Danielle Garcia, Upper Lake; Wendy Ringer, Lakeport; and Shane Black, Lower Lake.

“We hope next year to again be at the parking lot of New hope Fellowship Church behind Mackey Tire,” said Skelton. “Come see us. Our trees are the freshest in town because we store and display them in water bowls.”
