The Hard Candy Christmas Tree is picked

    In order to pick the perfect Christmas tree for the "Hard Candy Christmas" Art and Craft Show, we spent a Sunday afternoon walking through the mountainside in Little Canada at Larry Hasketts Tree farm.  Larry is a Jackson County tree grower who always supplies the big "Hard Candy Christmas" tree each year. This years choice is a glorious Fraser that has spent several years growing up on that mountain side. It has been waiting, waiting; soaking up the sun and rain, waiting to be picked.  On show day the smell of the tree fills the whole place.  After the Show it is taken to a family members house where it will shine for the remainder of the Christmas season.
