The Young Fellows Club members were out in force on Saturday afternoon as their truckload of Christmas trees arrived, and the trees were quickly unloaded onto their lot, located on Second Street behind the Prairie Sky Co-op food store.
The first official day for opening is Sunday, Nov. 29 at noon (although a few trees got sold on Saturday while the Young Fellows were there), and the lot will be open until Sunday, Dec. 20.
There are two varieties this year, Fraser and balsam, and they range in size from four up to 12 feet, with the price on average about $10 a foot.
Tree lot chairman Trent Rommann noted that Frasers are a premium tree, and may cost a bit more.
The hours for the tree lot will be from Monday to Friday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
As with all of the Young Fellows projects, all proceeds will stay in Weyburn to be used for the various projects and groups supported by the Young Fellows Club.
Aside from the Internet auction, this project is the biggest fundraiser for the Young Fellows of the year.
