Leta Richards of Lewiston, a frequent visitor to Rolly's Diner in Auburn, looks out their window Thursday morning as the 40 foot tall spruce tree across the street in Vincent Square in Auburn is cut down to be moved to Festival Plaza to be use as the annual Holiday Tree. The Twin Cities Holiday Celebration - Parade of Lights will be held this year on December 2nd.
