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.

That "Holiday" tree was part

That "Holiday" tree was part of the NewAuburn landscape for many many years and has been lit every "holiday" season, now they have cut it down, killed it, to decorate Festiville Plaza, am I the only one that finds this wrong?? Not nearly as many people will enjoy it this year.

In the paper this morning,

In the paper this morning, the caption under this picture said that this tree was to be used as the annual Christmas tree. I noticed since this went on the web site, the wording has been changed to Holiday tree. Cause for thought....
