Official NYS Empire Plaza Christmas Tree is From Sharon Springs

The state Christmas tree is on its way to Albany from Sharon Springs residents Bruce and Kelly Button. The Times Journal reports the 40-foot high spruce was felled Wednesday at a Lantern Drive home by crews with the state office of general services then loaded onto a flatbed truck for its ride to the state capital. The tree will be decorated and unveiled at the Empire State Plaza Christmas kick-off on December 8.
